How to Move the Hand of God
by Daniel N. Brown
Have you experienced many disappointments in your life? If
you’re human, you have. Through repeated disappointments, we
can become conditioned to expect more disappointments and
display a lack of faith.
Hebrews 11:6 says, "Without faith it is impossible to please
Him: for he that comes to God must believe that He is, and
that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him." We
can see by this verse that we cannot please God unless we
walk in faith.
So, how do we continue to walk in faith if we have been
repeatedly disappointed? After all, why should we get your
hopes up, right?
The dictionary defines faith as "trust, belief without
proof, promise, and loyalty."
Ask yourself these questions...
~ Am I really trusting God?
~ Do I know that He has my best
interest in mind?
~ Do I really believe His promises from
His Word are true and they were given for me?
~ Am I loyal to God and defend Him when the devil tries to
tell me that God doesn’t care about my needs and
desires?
These are some serious things to consider. It’s easy to just
say whatever you think God wants to hear, but He is not
fooled by words. He knows our hearts.
When we come to God, we must believe that He is God
Almighty! And believe He rewards those who diligently seek
Him. Have faith in Him! Psalm 62:5 says, “My expectation is
in the Lord.”
We must be like the woman who begged Jesus to deliver her
daughter in Matthew 15. She said, “Have mercy on me, O Lord,
Son of David” (She knew who He was and she was diligently
seeking Him)! Jesus said to her, “Great is your faith! Let
it be to you as you desire” (Matthew 15:28).
So, if you have you experienced a lot of disappointments in your life,
you’re human. But always remember, Jesus is Lord! And, He can turn
any situation around. There is always hope!
The past does not have to equal the future. No matter how
many disappointments you may have faced, He is still God and
He loves you. He wants to perform miracles in your life but
you must trust Him. His hand is moved by faith.
