Without faith it is impossible to please God! That is what the writer of Hebrews has told us. Whenever God reveals something to us, He expects us to believe and adjust our lives accordingly.
"But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin." Romans 14:23.
What does this mean? It means we trust Him without question for all of our needs because He says He will provide for us. It means we approach crises with the assurance that God will bring good from them. It means we overcome anxiety during stressful situations because God instructs us to bring our requests to Him. It means that we should never worry or think we are alone in any situation because God promised He would never leave us or forsake us. It means that, no matter what happens to us in our lives, we will never doubt God's love because He has told us that He loves us with an everlasting love!
Friends, there are many times, I am sure, that we have all tried to justify our lack of faith. We know, if we are in the Word, what God has promised us. But many of us doubt that God wants to make a practical difference in our lives. Some of us are filled with anxiety and excuse ourselves with the old cliche, "I am just a worrier." Some of us become bitter during a crisis and feel that God could not possibly bring anything good out of the pain we are experiencing. We appeal for help from everyone else around us when we have a need, and fore go believing the Father and His promises. Some of us will even say that we know that God is going to provide for us, but we think we still need to do everything we can first, just in case. What is wrong with all this thinking and action? It is faithlessness. God calls this unbelief in Him and unbelief or faithlessness is sin.
Are we struggling with faithlessness? Do we struggle to believe the promises of the Father? The answer then, friends, is to approach God and ask Him to help us with our unbelief. We need not ask for miracles, we only ask God to give us help with our unbelief. Then, stand on the promises of His Word believing that God will do what He says!
