Sometimes, when God tells you something, you just have to listen. No matter what comes up to distract you, no matter what other arguments are out there, you have to believe.
Someone once asked me if they thought some things hinged on our level of faith. To be honest, I think they do. I'm not saying everything is like that. And I'm not saying our performance has to be perfect.
But...God says that we should "hold fast to the confession of our hope, without wavering, for He who promised is faithful." (Hebrews 10:23) And also, that we shouldn't doubt because it is like being tossed by the waves of the sea. (James 1:6)
I know. I know. Sometimes, we exercise great faith and still things don't work out. And that's where it get's hard. Did we hear God wrong? Did we make up our own solution and then pretend that it was His will?
Whatever happened, that does not mean that when we know we've heard from God again, that we should doubt everything that He says. I believe that it is okay to ask for signs. Or to ask for confirmation of His calling.
But once He's given it to you three, five, ten, fifty times...maybe it's time to start exercising that faith. Do not give in to the devil and his lies.
Only God's word stands eternal. And if He has spoken something over you, it is as good as done.
He will do it. We just have to do our part and be obedient to what He tells us to do. And then we sit back and wait to see Him perform His wonders, believing--without wavering--that He will deliver on His promises.
We may not be able to count on much or on many people, but we can count on God.
Every time. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (Hebrews 13:8)
And that's all I need to know. How about you?
