After standing on the Word of God which is the truth concerning my marriage for 13yrs+ now, my faith seems like its wondering not quite wavering, wondering if His Word will ever come to pass! And so Lord, I still believe Your Word re my marriage, however, please help my unbelief due to the span of time that has passed. Your Word will never return to You void but it shall accomplish that which You O Lord pleases & prospers in that which it was sent! I stand on Your Word of truth, I believe, Jesus help my unbelief!
Thanks Brad for sharing-its encouraging & reassuring-definitely, no matter how long my expectation of His manifestation, He will still work with the faith I yet have left!

Having our beliefs all figured out and concretely in place can be a dangerous place. This father's statement means that he needed Jesus to fill in the blanks, to divinely place him where he needed to be where his flesh could take him. I have found that my flesh only wants to believe in the warm fuzzy feel good gospel, not the "I am not my own," "You will be persecuted" gospel.

Great writing. Thanks for blogging.

Thank you Sid and Sini Saju for commenting. I am so encouraged to know that others have similar experiences.

The Body of Christ is more 'one' than any one of us can see in this life and I am always encouraged when I see a small glimpse of that. Sometimes in our own little worlds we forget that believers thousands of miles away in very different cultures have the same faith as you, the same Savior, the same King. We are one in Christ! peace & grace

Salvation through Christ is possible for anyone right now through faith, but understanding everything about God is not. People have built religion to try and put God in a box so they can feel like they understand it all.

Religion is about rules, organization, power, & control. Faith is about a relationship with our creator.

Stephanie M, you are so right, salvation comes through the sacrifice of Christ at the cross not rules or a religious system. Not even a little bit of this or that but 100% Christ. The debt has been paid in full at the cross.

Perhaps in some way the distractions of religion and people who want to put God in a box provides us a clearer understanding of what God is not. Perhaps these things can instead of distract us, focus us on Jesus, his life, his actions, and his sacrifice.

Thanks Stephanie M. for stopping by and taking the time to comment. I appreciate it very much.

Wow Brad, I can relate to you perfectly. He has helped me overcome my unbelief so many times.

He is our complete salvation.

Brad - how well said. Thanks for the reminder that I am not alone in my believing unbelief!

I appreciated also your response on the blog slightly sarcastic.

I get so discouraged with religion/people and find that they are the MOST distracting things in my relationship with God. I am very thankful my salvation is due 100% to Christ's death on the cross and 0% myself and religion. But it is distracting nevertheless.
