Hi Balanced Life Family,
I’m a roller coaster girl! I love the feeling that I get when I’m up high and then comes that sudden fast drop. Yikes! What a thrill! That’s amusement park fun, but your faith walk shouldn’t be like a roller coaster ride; up-down, up-down, believe doubt, believe doubt.
We’re all aware of the uncertain times in which we now live. So much bad news from the media hits us daily, but we can’t allow this to cause our faith to waver. The Word of God speaks about this kind of up-down roller coaster faith. James 1:6-7 “For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he should receive anything of the Lord.”
How can you expect to receive anything from God when you’re afraid to trust him. I don’t care what you’re hearing on the news, God wants you to trust him completely because he never fails. Remember that song we used to sing, “God Never Fails”? Well, singing is one thing, trusting and believing is another.
Many people have no problem believing at first. That’s when their faith is up. If what they’re believing doesn’t manifest within a certain short period of time, they start to doubt. That’s when their faith goes down. Yes, we’ve been sheltered for weeks. Yes, the number of people who have tested positive for the Coronavirus is growing. Yes, many people are dying! But keep your faith in God up. Believe he will deliver! Believe that he cares for you and will take care of you. Believe that he’s working things out for your good.
Belief followed by doubt is unstable thinking. “A double-minded man is unstable in all of his ways.” James 1:8 God doesn’t want you to be unstable. He wants you to be steadfast and unmovable. You can trust him. He’s the all-powerful, almighty, no failure God. You’ve got to believe this as you journey on your faith walk. Don’t be defeated by fear and doubt from the devil. Have faith in God. Wait patiently on him because he never fails and GET OFF OF THE ROLLER COASTER!
Be sure to drop me a line and let me know what you think.
