- There are times when we begin to doubt God. Our faith becomes weak b/c of some challenge we are facing. Peter showed doubt in Christ when he became afraid. For a moment, he lost trust!
- However, Peter then turned and shouted for God's help. While Jesus saved him, he questioned Peters faith. When we hit those times in our lives we must too reach out to God for answers. His answers may differ from what we want, but he will be there to "save us" and "guide us"!
We seem to at times worry about today's problems without trusting God. Here is a weakness and a loss of focus in our lives..... but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the cares of this life, lure of wealth, and desire for nice things, so no crop is produced (Mark 4:19)
- These wants will make Gods word mute to us. Stay free of this so Gods word stays "Priority #1" and does not get flooded out of our lives.
The next morning, Jesus woke up long before daylight and went alone into the wilderness to pray (Mark 1:35)
- Just as Jesus did, finding time for God is vital. It is what keeps our eyes and focus on him. If we have to wake up early, stay up late, miss on time with friends we must sacrifice.... Time with God is vital! Make time, "Quiet time for God" and pray to him s much as you can. With this added communication it's amazing what can be achieved.
Points to Ponder:
- Any time is Good to meet with Jesus. Just like food and air, time with Jesus is necessary.
- The bible is the game plan. Reading it is the same as any play book or instructional manual. It should be used to develop ones plan for a life with Christ.
- There will be many challenges. Doubters, pressing social life, etc. Making Christ the priority (keeping our eyes and focus on him) is what will help silence those voices that doubt your walk with Christ.
