One of my goals this year is to up the anty on trusting God. This is one of Charles Stanley's messages that I took notes on that really impacted me. I record him each week and LOVE his messages.
Fear vs. Faith
1--Disappointment is inevitable, but discouragement is a choice.
2--Psalm 103:19-God is sovereign.
3—God works all things together for good, for those who love God and are called according to His purposes.
Questions to ask myself:
1. Where are doubts coming from? God gives us a spirit of power, love and a sound mind.
2. Has God ever failed me in the past? No...even lately he had come through numerous times.
3. Does God promise to meet all my needs?
4. Has God given you a helper? You can’t do it in your own strength, but with the Holy Spirit you have power and provision.
5. Is anything too hard for God? NO, nothing.
6. Has God promised to be with me? Yes, Psalm 121
7. When I’m at a fork in the road: could unbelief lead me to a lifetime of regret?
When I considered staying home with the kids and quitting my job it was a true fork in the road. Every time I do our budget on paper it NEVER works. It is still a trusting experience even though we've made it for a few years now...we still have to trust in Him to provide each month. Now, I am at a fork...adopt or have another baby??? Another big decision. If God is calling me to adopt, I don't want to not follow through because I am afraid. If you think about it...pray for our family and that in the coming year we will have some clear directives!
