STRENGTHEN YOUR ROOTS

STOP ASKING START TRUSTING

By: Shien Chang

There are lots of "why" in our lives. Why my work sucks, why that person did that to me, why my parents are like this and that, etc.

We seems to continue looking for the answer. What should I do? When it seems I am not able to know, understand what God's plan for us?

The fact is, we only know what is at lower dimension of knowledge. There is a limit to our level of knowledge. We only know what's on our level of competencies.

God's knowledge and work are too high for us to comprehend.

Proverbs 25:2 - "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings".

Proverbs said even Kings still and need to search out a matter, and there are still things that are yet known, things that are conceal by God.

God does not need us to know, God need us to trust and believe

Psalms 42:1-12 - the heart that longing for God

"Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God"

Actually, most of the time, things that cause us demotivated and down are merely our questions, our own desire or ego to get the explanation.

"Actually we don't need explanation, we need strength. Actually we don't need to ask, we need trust"

Verse 11 - 12, the more you pursue answers fro. God, the more the bones felt pain. As the knowledge is just too wide for us to understand. But TRUST in the Lord, put HOPE in God.

Habakkuk 3:17-19 NIV - Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls,yet I will rejoice in the Lord , I will be joyful in God my Savior.  The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments.

Consider this, the lowest point or level of our faith is when we keep asking God, "why": As the answers will not help increase our faith.

Another powerful message. Another day full of blessing
