O ye of little faith

David said, “34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land…..” Psalm 37:34

Only a few are willing to wait and keep God’s way. Whenever they call themselves Christians or not. Most, while claiming to be Christians, advertently transgress against God as a means of necessity and by reason of self sufficiency.

Being excessively forward and impatient, lacking the faith to pray and wait on God for a solution. King Saul is a great example of what happens when we chose not to wait on God through faith. 

King Saul went out of his way to disobey God to get what he needed.

The first time he was not patient, choosing not to wait for Samuel as he was instructed by God through Samuel. The second, he chose not to fully do what God commanded of him to do in regards to the Amalekites.

And the third and last time, would actually cost him his very own life. When he consulted a witch to speak to Samuel after Samuel had died. 

Saul’s problem is no different to ours. We have more confidence in ourselves to solve our issues than we do in God to solve them. Where we look to our human efforts, intelligence and suggestions of others than have faith in God’s invisible hand to work things out for our good. 

Works go before faith instead of faith before works. As God impresses through the Holy Spirit to act in accordance to His word. For faith is defined by God’s word accordingly. 

In desperate times we would rather do whatever we can to help the situation than to wait on God. 

God help our unbelief

Since 2010, I've experienced promptings, encouragement as well as assistance from the Holy Spirit. The promptings led me to the word of God. This was the start of my own personal journey as I sought after the truth. God was then calling me as I sought after the truth according to His word. The truth was leading me to the decision to give my life to Him. I gave my life to God on the 28th of January 2012. Instantly, I had the desire to share with others the truth of God, that God is a God of love, truth, righteousness, holiness, mercy and justice. I couldn't keep something like this to myself in a lost and dying world, a world in a fallen state, and a world steeped in confusion concerning the view of who God is. My journey wasn't without struggle though, I realised through suffering we come to know God. To not only be humble, but to be empathic and not detached from people who are suffering. Sometime in 2012, God inspired me to become a writer just after my prayer to fulfill my purpose, the purpose of the reason of my existence. My prayer was a reflection of Isaiah 43:1-7. So I started writing essays pertaining to His word. I shared what I wrote with my family and friends. Therefore, the aspiration to help people globally, came with the realisation to give God the honour and the glory. To be part of making a difference. The inspiration to start blogging was impressed upon me to do. Through prayerful guidence, I believe God has led me to this point, which I believe is for His glory.
