As humans, it is so easy for us to fall into the traps of only believing what we can see. It's almost like we need "undeniable proof" for everything! Nobody wants to wait on God for the answers. In fact, it seems that the wait itself, gets us all in fear. So we take matters into our own hands, thinking that we can do a better job, than God can. But, can I tell you that God works on His OWN clock, not ours?! Can I tell you that He has his OWN time frame?!. And it is NEVER the time frame that we have set for ourselves. Why is it that we are all so in a rush for answers about everything? And when those answers do not come when we think they should, we become gripped with panic, worry, concern, and fear. But when we fall into these ditches, we only make it harder for ourselves! The consequences for our actions is sometimes greater than the offense itself. I mean people want to know "right now" answers about their future, so they consult tarot card readers, psychics, etc. When people feel that it is taking their Plan A too long to work or that it won't work at all, they automatically come up with a Plan B. But when we do these things, in addition to the consequences that we already have to face for our fear or impatience, we then are forced to wait even longer for the ending result. We wait longer, because we did not trust God. We did not feed our faith; but, instead, our fear. And in doing so, we set ourselves back even worse!
I heard a pastor say this once before, and I absolutely agree with him. "God is not moved by our tears, our conditions, our pain and suffering, our negative fits (because we want what we want, when we want it), etc. The only thing thing that moves God is our faith"! Faith alone, gives us the ending result that we so deeply desire. His word tells us this over and over again! "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him". (Hebrews 11:6) "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen". *Hebrews 11:1) There are so many places God wants to take us in Him, but the only way we can get to those places, is if we start to feed our faith, and not our fears! And if we continue to miss this concept, we will never reach our destiny, our purpose-what God has created us to do! And wouldn't it be so terrible, if we never reach that special place in our lives, where His blessings and favor shall flow continually through us, in us, and for us??!! We have got to learn to make the right decision! We must learn to feed our faith, and not our fear!
