Have You Asked God About It?



"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering." - James 1:5-6 cf

Dear Friends,

So many times I have heard people say, often Christians, "don't question God."  Well that advice does not line up with scripture. If we are seeking answers, seeking solutions, or aspiring to gain wisdom, God is The One we can take our questions to. He provides answers by directing us through the study and application of His Word.

God wants us to seek Him. He wants us to cast our cares at His feet.  Our cares include our questions. The key accompaniment to the questioning, is the faith with which we approach God.
The scriptures tell us to ask in faith, not wavering. We can't go with a "wishy washy" approach. It is with a steadfast faith in a Strong and Mighty God that we must take our:  Why Lord? What does this mean Father? How much longer? Who can I turn to God? What is Your purpose for my life? 

 Have you ever asked the Lord any of these questions? I have.  Sometimes I received clear answers. Other times I felt as though God 's mighty hands held me, rocked me, patted me on the back and whispered, "Don't worry about it Stephanie just trust that I'll take care of it." 

Conversations, true communication is a give and take.  It is talking and listening. Statements and questions.  Prayer is conversation. In its most powerful form it is talking to God and listening to Him. It is a means of getting to know Him. 

So, what do you want to know? Have you asked God about it?

In Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

Help…My Help

  Psalms 46:1   “God  is our  refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Help.  God is my Help. Always present…in trouble and in triumph.  Help.

THE WHAT AND THE SOEVER

  Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things  are honest , whatsoever things  are  just, whatsoever things  are  pure, whatsoever things  are  lovely, whatsoever things  are  of good report; if  there be  any virtue, and if  there be  any praise, think on these things.” The truth is Jesus. Honestly. This is a fact. Scripture declares Him to be. The Way, the Truth, the Life. His ways are holy and just. His Word is pure. He is altogether lovely. Focusing on the whatsoever things is to abide in the peace of God. Thoughts centered on bountiful blessings. Determined to dwell on the goodness of God rather than the constant chaos perpetrated by the enemy of our souls. The What is also the Who.  He is the King of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. Matchless in power and might. He is the Faithful and True. He holds the balance in His Hands. God weighs the intent of the heart. True Hones...
