What has happened?? You have experienced more than your fair share of unexpected losses and you felt that God must be on vacation somewhere else. Others seemed to be receiving blessing from God but you felt short changed these days. You began to feel that God no longer loves you.
Doubting the goodness of God toward you can harden your heart and move you in a direction that will tempt you to live life according to your own wisdom…wisdom that will always be less than God’s wisdom for you.
1 John 3 : 1
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!
Pay attention to the word “lavished”. You have begun to doubt God’s love and His goodness toward you. He is a God that can be counted on to lovingly take us through this journey of life. A God that lavishes us with His love is a God that can be trusted to guide us on our way and to nudge us back on track when we wander.
If your life has some unexpected bumps these day, do not doubt God’s love and care for you. He will lovingly bring His principles of living to your attention so you can correct your course when necessary. His love will lead you to the very best for your life if you trust him.
Let us ask God to forgive us for letting our hearts doubt Him. Ask God to forgive us for our impatience and thank Him for reminding us that His love for us is great. Ask God to help us to change the attitudes or actions that He dislikes. Ask God to teach us to trust Him and to know that He is always at work in any circumstances.
