Sometimes I think it’s easy to trust something yet still not believe or vice versa, to believe something yet not trust it. Recently I read about “a willingness to get up, leave everything and follow Christ because of the joyful assurance that earths best does not compare with heaven’s least.” There are days when I question if I truly believe this or trust it. Then there are days when I say “heaven’s got to be better than this!”
I find that I can’t do anything apart from the Holy Spirit so it’s then I cry out “help me overcome my unbelief.” Seems I’m crying out a lot but some days are better than others. I wonder though, shouldn’t my belief and trust be based upon God not my emotions? Kind of hard to do when emotions seem to be running a muck lately so I’ll continue to pray for help in overcoming my unbelief and to one day truly trust AND believe.
“Lord, Help thou my unbelief.” Doubt, discouragement, fear – the closer you are to the Lord the more these tools are used against you.
I desire to “act on what I know”. Our experiences with the Lord show us He is there, that He knows, that He is working… now let us ACT on what we know. May He give you your heart’s desire to chase doubt and boldly go forward with what He has called you to do.
