Unbelieving believer

Many a times, we just know the truth that will set us free. However, there are many who know the truth that can set them free yet they find it so hard to believe.

It is like the word of God is too good too be true. The word of God is the truth. There is no falsehood in. When interpreted in its right context, we will have a deeper knowing of Jesus and His finished work at the cross. It is this knowing that will ultimalely set us free from fear and anxiety. It is this knowing that will set our hearts at rest cause we know Jesus is working miracle behind the difficult situations that we are facing.

However, some of us find it challenging to believe the word of God. The bible says we are made rich because Jesus was made poor at the cross that we through His poverty will be made rich. Yet some of us just can't believe this truth. Why is this so? We simply focus on our situations more than the finished work at the cross. We expect "instant noodles" solution most of the time and when we don't get what we had prayed for, we get dishearted and distrust the word of God.

The bible also says that Jesus had borne our diseases and illnesses and pain and by His stripe, we have been made whole and healthy. The instance we feel pain in our body, we focus on the pain straight away and magnify it in our body. And when the healing doesn't take place immediately, we don't believe the word of God. Isn't it interesting to know that we choose to believe our challenging situations, which can be changed, more than the truth of God.

God will make things perfect in our lives in His perfect time, not our perfect time. His desire for us is to prosper and be in health as our souls prosper. He has our interest at heart. Trust in Him. Those who trust in Him will never be put to shame. Hallelujah.
