Everything I have ever needed has been provided for. So why do I question the next step?
I have never had to go a day without food, or even a meal, yet at times I’ve wondered if God would keep providing. Any bill I have ever needed to pay has been paid on time, yet I wonder if the next bill will be met. What is it about humans that causes us to forget so easily all the times God has been faithful?
I remember hearing stories of Moses and the Israelites. I often wondered how they could want to go back to Egypt or how they could start worshipping another god. And yet I see similarities in my own life now. What about this move? Will there be a house? Friends? Provisions? The answer is yes, yes, and yes.
God is faithful. He can’t not be faithful, even when we are faithless. It’s who He is. So, I write this article to encourage you that He will be faithful and also to remind myself. Now next week, or next month, when my fears start to get a hold of me, I can pull this up, read it again and remember God has never left me or forsaken me. He has always provided for me and my family. He has always had plans to prosper us and not to harm us. He knows me better than I know myself. And He knows my heart better than I do. He will be faithful, o ye of little faith.
As a challenge, even if you don’t keep a journal, write down 5 ways God has shown his faithfulness to you. Then when your fears start to take hold, get out your list and remember God is faithful.
