Episode 438 - Show Notes
- Most of us have had those moments when we struggled with our faith in Jesus. The moments of difficulty usually aren’t about our belief in God’s ability. They are about God’s willingness. In other words, we know he can help us, we are just not sure if he will.
- I wish I could say I have never struggled with my faith, but that would not be true. Sometimes we are weary. We are tired. Sometimes it’s hard to hold on. Sometimes we don’t see God’s hand at work. Sometimes we hear the lie of the enemy telling us God is not there. He doesn’t care.
- Many people think struggling with God means we lack faith, but that is not true. Struggling with God is a sure sign that we do have faith. If we never struggle, our faith will never grow stronger. Strong faith is tested faith. There is no other way to grow.=
- My encouragement for you today is to not only believe that God can, but believe that he will.
“You unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.” So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth. (Mark 9:19-20)
“…if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.” (Mark 9:22) ““If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.” (Mark 9:23). “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24)
