Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart : and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.
Often we lack patience and have need of more patience.
Lack of patience is a evidence of lack of trust .
Lack of trust and conditional faith often end up entangled with disappointments unstableness confusion torments panic and anxiousness
You must become rooted in Christ and grounded in Christ . You'll never become rooted if you're not feeding your faith and renewing your mind with the word of God.
Too many treat God like a quick read devotional or a Jeanie in a bottle for their every selfish request while rejecting everything God asks of them.
Too many don't know God . Get to know Him in His word and you're going to learn your faith will be tested and that's going to prove what you can be trust with to steward . You'll learn God might say to the devil like He did with Job have you considered My servant....
God invited Satan to consider Job .
God is more than just love get to know Him intimately what He like and dislikes what He accepts and what He condemns get to know what's required and what you need to forsake in this word.
God isn't there to make the life you want to live easier He plan is to make you into His image a physical living walking example and representation of who Christ is bringing the kingdom of God near to those who are without
Get to know Jesus and you learn He comes in His way in His timing and all that He does and gives us not as the world gives. His peace isn't the same as the world His love isn't the same as the world's none of His ways are the same as the world's. Get to know the Christ you profess to believe in and you're going to learn you'll suffer for His Names sake you'll be hated rejected by your own rejected by many
Many have an idea of Christ but many do not know Him and many have made a Christ of their own image and their own ways . Repent and be converted repent and believe the Gospel he who believes not is condemned already it is written and the wrath of God abides on the children of disobedience but there is grace there is mercy there is a space available still this day to repent but the space to repent will soon be no more
