Do you really believe what you believe?
Yesterday I wrote about a small group discussion. Today I want us to make it personal. I invite you to try a small experiment with me.
Think of a situation that prompts worry or conflict or anxiety for you. Doesn’t have to be monumental, but it can be. Maybe you’ve talked to Jesus about it. If not, do that. If so, maybe do it again.
Do you believe Jesus hears your pain?
Do you believe He cares?
Do you believe He holds authority over this situation?
Do you believe He has the power to deal with it?
Do you believe He always works for good?
Okay, now imagine that He’s sitting right in front of you, that He’s heard and understood your deepest fears. And then He takes your hand and gently says,
“I know. I understand. And I’m taking care of it.”
Is that enough?
Me? I want details. HOW is He taking care of it? When? And He says again:
“I know. I understand. And I’m taking care of it.”
Is it enough?
Me? “I do believe. Please help me overcome my unbelief.” (Mark 9:24)
Is it enough?
