"Do not be surprised when God is faithful"Some of us never hit the point of being surprised by God's faithfulness. We are still at the point where "God might answer my prayers"
or
"God may make my life good"
or
"God may be the only Person that can fill my life".
Why do FEELINGS play such a big role in our lives and what God says seems like dotted lines on our life pages? I'm not a robot either. However, feelings are not the TRUTH you should rely on. Sometimes when God says, Prov 6:21 "Bind them continually upon your heart and tie them about your neck." and
Prov 7:3 "Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart."
May it mean to you such that the word 'bind' would choke your heart, so tight that blood would not reach your fingers! A tablet is a stone. Allow His Word to be ingrained in you!! May you treat the Word of God with such aggression and desperation. Why shouldn't you?If the whole world is screaming at you to think this way and feel that way, why don't we stick to God and His Word like a baby clinging tight to his mom in times of uncertainty?Let's look at what David said when he faced Goliath;1 Samuel 17: 45 to 47 "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.This day the LORD will hand you over to me, and I'll strike you down and cut off your head. Today I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD's, and He will give all of you into our hands." Look at the words of confidence. Why is that? what's the difference? He didn't feel afraid? Unlikely. His giant(s) fell. Are yours still walking around breathing threats into the air?May the Lord who left His place for you, show you how to change the "maybes", the "mights" and the "can'ts" into "wills"...
God, I can't. You can
