Would I Lie To You?


Because of His glory and excellence, He has given us great and precious promises.  These are the promises that enable you to share His divine nature and escape the world's corruption caused by human desires.  In view of all of this, make every effort to respond to God's promises.  2 Peter 1:4-5


If I had to be perfectly honest about the season I am facing, I would say that I am certainly blessed, but at the same time in a new and uncharted territory that sometimes leaves me doubting myself.  At home, we are certainly blessed, but managing our busy schedules and making time to spend with family and friends is a never-ending challenge.  At work, I am blessed with many opportunities, but things are still difficult with the economy being in such poor shape and the uncertainty that many employers are facing as it pertains to health care reform.

Doubt is okay, and it doesn't necessarily mean that we have less faith, it just means our faith is being challenged in new ways.  When we find ourselves in uncharted territory, we must allow our doubt to move us closer to God instead of further away from Him.

God gives us all many promises and the last time I checked, He has never broken a single one.  We must learn to trust Him instead of doubting Him. 

When we trust, we fall deeper in love with Him and our faith grows even stronger.
