Believing God -God is Always With Us

Many times in life, We struggle to believe God. Not believing in God, but rather...believing God will do what He said. One of the things we talked about yesterday in sunday school, was the rollar coaster ride of Christianity. The ups and downs of faiths. The riding high one minute and finding peace the next. And how when we believe God, then we will ride at a semi-normal speed minus the humps of faith. Because believing in God, means having the peace to know that He will do what He says.

When God's word tells us, Genesis 28:15 “Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.” God is telling us, we are His. He will not dessert us. He will not leave us. He will not forsake us. God is with us through all things. There are many words that tell us of this comfort. That God will not leave us, even when we feel most without God. Isaiah 41:10 “fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed; for I am Your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Believing God means we trust that He is there.

In is easy for us though to forget, God's ever hand in our lives...when we pray..we pray for thy will for our lives. But when we get God's answers, we do not always like them. They are not the answer we want...or even what we prayed for. That does not mean God did not hear our prayer, or even that He was not there. It only means that we did not like the answer. Matthew 6:10 your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. When we pray for God's will in our lives, Why do we let the world get us up and down in faith, because we do not Believe God? Believing God means finding acceptance for all of God's answers. Not just the ones we like. Because if God is always with us, it means God answers prayers. It does not mean we will get the result we want, but rather...we will get the answer we need. But first, we must Believe God. And that is harder to do then just Believing in God.
