i call God a liar
July 21, 2009
When I don’t believe God, I’m calling Him a liar.
And though I really don’t want to do that, I often do. I call Him a liar by my actions and attitudes that reflect more doubt than faith.
I’m sorry, Lord.
Doubt grows where faith has worn thin.
I know there are places in my heart where I need to be intentional about strengthening my faith, because it’s begun eroding away. And doubt’s started to grow.
I want my life to be marked more by faith than by doubt. To reflect unswerving belief in my illogical God.
Lord, I want to believe You. Help me overcome my unbelief.
man. me too, alece, me too. i was thinking along these lines today. the way i talk about myself and my situations too often reflects way more defeat and discouragement, more shame and doubt than life and belief and trust in our father.
forgive me lord, for calling you a liar again and again. draw us again to your heart. rescue us, and revitalize our spirit and joy in you.
i love you SO much, swinger.
and i’m praying that same thing right along with you.
I LOVE praying that verse! It gives me a strange sense of peace to know that I am not the only one who struggles with unbelief at times and that man had the courage and humility to ask for help overcoming his unbelief. Good stuff!
i didn’t get first. boo. that’s okay, though… because i went to sleep at 11! yay!
i love this one.
your words are, as usual, beautiful and convicting.
I just prayed that this morning. Sometimes waiting is so hard that I begin to be unable to see. I prayed for open eyes and revelation and grace to keep walking even though I can’t see. He is faithful! He has shown this in my life. I will will myself to go back and read aloud all His promises and words to me … then I will remember that He will bring to fruition ALL that He has promised and it will be okay because He will provide in the interim and during the wait. After all, God cannot lie and “the one who makes the promise keeps the promise!”
Thanks for sharing that! I love you most precious one! I am praying for you daily!
That’s a lot to think about today. But that’s probably good — thank you.
It can be hard to persevere. I love 2 Cor 1:20. “For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.”
God will make good. It often takes more time than I like. His name and His glory are at stake, but it is up to Him and not us to prove True. Good thing too. I waver through far too much unbelief. I pray that I believe when I speak, “Amen,” when I hear His promises.
Joining with you in praying, “Lord help my unbelief!”
wow. isnt that the truth!! I’m right there with you… your prayer is also mine! :) Love you!
beautiful. true.
