God's Faithfulness

Is God really faithful?

I wonder if you have asked yourself this question or have had any doubts around this thought and fact.

I gave my life to Jesus when I was 25 and throughout my journey with him called life…I have come to the edge of doubt and questioned him and his word. I am sure we all have at some point touched rock bottom and thrown the towel and given up on his promises.

I genuinely believe it's human and natural to ask questions and wonder and even doubt. I also am convinced about the fact that our lovely God loves questions and he doesn't mind it at all. He actually rather have you ask him anything than just keeping it to yourself and getting more and more frustrated and bitter and withdrawing from him more and more.

He might not always answer straight away or at all. Sometimes it will take time to receive an answer or sometimes God will answer right there and then when you ask him the question. I have also received silence as an answer which also is a response. To deal with this type of answer it really takes a lot of patience and faith to take it in and accept the silence of God.

It might mean that he will answer you later or it might mean he won’t answer you at all. Whatever it will be it will be the best for you and you can trust God with whatever he does.

I certainly had to wait for a few things and am still waiting for specific promises from God to actually manifest in its own time or God’s appointed time.

There are promises that God will give you when he thinks you are ready for it. Some will only come to the appointed time God has set for it. Some delay because of circumstances or disobedience. To obey God is an act of Love and not an obligation. God wants our full attention, heart and obedience based on our Love for him and noting else but our Love.

In fact your only drive and motivation should always be Love. We are not serving a religion and we are not religious. We are serving and relating to a living God who desires a real relationship to him.

So based on this relationship to him which can and should be maintained by spending time with him in conversation and reading his Word the Bible. Spend also time in worshipping and praising him. You should have a daily devotion time and the rest of the day you can stay connected to God all day. 

Just allow him to speak to you at any given time. Follow his promptings and allow him to use you to bless anyone and anything.

Be patient and kind while you wait for God to bring along his promises to you.

Love,

Trisha
