Do we truly believe what we are shown in God’s word? That question should be thought about deeply because if we answer “yes” then there is a transformation of self that has to take place. We cannot waver and seek only when we are comfortable, we must want to be challenged to grow. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior we must be willing to learn to be better and always turn to Him. One of the things we learned this past weekend in the sermon was that we need to be reading God’s word seeking transformation not just information. Realizing that we are new creations and life change must take place helps us trust in Him for everything in our lives.
Chapter 10 verse 35 says, “So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you!”
What keeps us from not wavering? I believe it is constant meditation and praying for God to open our hearts and grow. I also believe it takes fellowship with others that are working on doing the same.
In verse 36 it says, “Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that He has promised.”
Why settle for a walk full of pain and fear? I desire all that He promises and that is peace on earth as it is in Heaven. And that does not come from the world at all; it comes from Christ and understanding who we are as true believers. I say ask yourself this question this week: What is keeping me from living a life that is fully trusting the Lord? I think in most instances the answer would be “myself”. Ask God to open your heart and fill it with the Spirit knowing that it will take passion and desire to be a fully devoted follower of Christ. Amen
