Consider Simply having Faith...

In December I blogged about a church service I attended in Halifax while visiting some friends. This message has really stuck with me and its been coming up a lot in conversations, and my own life.

Here's the thing. The beauty of God's love is that He gives us the ability to choose. Some decisions are easy to make, like getting out of the way of traffic, or picking up the phone when it rings. But other decisions are not as clear, like where to spend the limited amount of money you have, or when its time to act. When you add any amount of desire or pressure, decisions become hazed and stressful.

Most of the time when we have a decision to make, we lay out the options and weigh the pros and cons. I personally do this a lot because I like to over think things, but honestly... its a waste of time. These pros and cons become distractions, temptations and can potentially lead us towards false desires instead of towards God's will. And let's be honest here.. does God need us to lay out the choices for Him?

"Trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight" -Proverbs 3:5-6

Consider simply having faith and just... giving it to God. Nothing will happen if we don't act. Sometimes we need to be couragous and there is a time and place to be catious and wreckless. He knows the answers, and knows when we need to hear them. If you feel like He's not working hard enough to get you the answer when you want it.. maybe you simply just don't need to know. Maybe we simply need to just trust Him.

This video called "Lord Lord" is one of my favorites. OneTimeBlind does a lot of amazing skits, but this one in particular fits perfectly with my theme.
