Do we really believe God? We would like to say that the answer is an obvious “yes.” But it isn’t really. From the time of our salvation to our final destination in heaven, God is trying to get us to trust Him completely. He promises us that is the route to a full life. Brother Lawrence said we ought, once and for all, heartily put our whole trust in God, and make a total surrender of ourselves to Him, secure that He would not deceive us. Yet since we don’t fully trust, the reason must be that we don’t completely believe the promises of God. We say He is all powerful; but we act as if our problems are too much for Him. We say He loves us, but we act as if our problems are too little for Him. We repeat that if we seek first the Kingdom of God, we will receive else; yet we feel we have to “take care of business” before we can take care of ministry, often never getting around to it. We “know” that we, as new men, are not made for this world, yet we continue to seek our fulfillment here.
We need to move past our words and begin to act as if we believe God and put our complete trust in Him. It’s where all blessing lie.
