Wig’s Word of God Today 8-1-2011
O you of little faith, why did you doubt? Matthew 14:31c
Numbers 11:4b-15, Psalm 81 & Matthew 14:22-36
When we doubt, life will consume us. When we have faith, life will contain us. As the people drew out of Egypt they became consumed with doubt as the manna became old and the desire to eat flesh was upon their carnivoristic lips. “The children of Israel lamented, “Would that we had meat for food!” Numbers 11:4 The doubt consumed their hearts complaining to Moses and the LORD. Moses became a leader that was tired to say the least asking God, “Why are you so displeased with me that you burden me with all this people?”
God provided instructing Moses to bring about 70 Elders who the LORD would bestow the ability to council the people. “I will also take some of the spirit that is on you and will bestow it on them, that they may share the burden of the people with you. You will then not have to bear it by yourself.” Numbers 11:17 The LORD contained their doubt and consumed their complaining and greed. We expect too much too quick with dreadful consequences not being satisfied with our God-given providences.
Learning to have faith is an every day thing of habit becoming desire void of logic. When you desire to please yourself, you instill your logic into your life’s desires expelling God from every step and every corner of your life. When you desire to please God, you draw Him close by separating logic from your actions and remain in constant communal faith living by His Word in prayer to evangelize and share. A faith people can see. A faith people can hear. A faith people can taste. A faith people can feel by the Power of the Holy Spirit. A faith people can smell in a rainy afternoon steam. Faith to share His Truth. The Love to Love for all time. While I believe we crave His Truth, I also believe we doubt His Strength in His Truth. We, humanity, want God to prove something. Show His face and flick a car into space. Yet, He is already here. In your breath. In your tongue. In your fingers. In your nose. You see Him in everything and yet you still want Him to prove something. “O, you of little faith, why did you doubt?”
So we ask in prayer: Dear God, we pray today for faith in You LORD Who we can hear, taste, feel, smell and see in every aspect of our lives. We seek healing and peace in prayer for Kelly, Jason, Alex, Allen, Jeff, Julian and Gabriel. I pray for my wife Toni. xoxoxo LORD, we pray we live in Truth to accomplish Your Will. In Jesus Name we pray, Amen.
God Bless His Truth for America,
