When Our Faith Wavers

We access all the riches of God with the simple decision to trust Him—in everything.
September 1, 2024

James 1:1-8

Faith is the heart of our Christian life. It’s how we are saved, receive forgiveness for our sins, enjoy a personal relationship with God, and have assurance of eternal life in His presence. By faith, we experience the peace of God and the power of the Holy Spirit. Yet at times our life and prayers are plagued by doubts.

Our faith wavers when we. . .

Apply human thinking to our circumstances. Sometimes God may require us to do something with which human reasoning disagrees (Isa. 55:9).

Allow our feelings to overcome our faith. Perhaps feelings of unworthiness, fear, or inadequacy cause us to doubt we can do what the Lord asks.

Fail to see God at work in our circumstances. Doubts creep in when we have asked Him to take action but nothing appears to be happening.

Have guilt over sin, past or present. We cannot operate with strong faith when we are mindful of ongoing sin or dwelling on guilt over past wrongdoing.

Faith is defined as “the certainty of things hoped for, a proof of things not seen” (Heb. 11:1). Do confidence and conviction describe the condition of your faith?

Getting in God’s Way
Listen for the Lord's voice—even when you are helping others—to be sure you are doing His will.
August 30, 2024

Matthew 16:21-23

Believers are called to be compassionate (Luke 10:37), but we must show discernment when practicing kindness. At times, stepping into someone’s life can block what God is doing with that person. Let’s look at Peter, who once allowed feelings to cloud his discernment. Attempting to interfere in the divine plan for Jesus Christ was an experience that he likely never forgot.

Though Peter knew exactly who Jesus was—namely, the Messiah and Son of the living God (Matt. 16:16)—he also held common Jewish misconceptions about the Messiah’s mission. Many Israelites awaited a king who’d overthrow the oppressive Roman rule. Consequently, Peter refused to accept Jesus’ warnings of the judgment, mistreatment, and death He anticipated. After trying to convince the Lord that such an end was impossible, the disciple was rebuked for attempting to subvert God’s will (Matt. 16:22-23).

Jesus’ priority was to liberate hearts from sin rather than bodies from tyranny. Peter had a narrow view of the divine plan, and wrong perceptions led him into open rebellion. Do not make his mistake. Since we never want to obstruct God’s unfolding purposes, it’s always wise to seek His will first—even when unpleasant circumstances appear to warrant a compassionate response.

Repentance in the Believer’s Life
When we are truly grieved by our sin, God cleanses our heart and provides the power to change.
August 29, 2024

Proverbs 28:13-14

Is repentance necessary in the Christian’s life? Yes, and we can see this truth in 1 John 1:9: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” You may say, “The word repentance isn’t in that verse.” But let’s take a closer look.

Remember, “to repent” simply means to change your mind. For non-Christians, this refers to saving faith—the decision to place trust in Jesus. But for believers, repentance involves a change of heart with regard to behavior or attitude. It is an ongoing decision to lead an obedient, Christlike life.

In 1 John, this choice is represented by the word confess, which means “to agree with.” In other words, if you confess your wrongdoing to God, you are coming into agreement with Him about that sin and therefore disagreeing with your previous view. Here, confession isn’t a matter of salvation; rather, it means allowing the Father to continually re-form your mind, molding you more and more into the image of His Son. As God continues to work in your life, your mind will gradually reject old thought patterns, and you’ll more closely represent His way of thinking.

Is there sin in your life that has become too uncomfortable to bear? Confess it and allow God to change your heart today.

A Right View of Repentance
Jesus is ready to receive you right now—just as you are.
August 28, 2024

Acts 2:37-41

Preaching the truth about Jesus in Acts 2, Peter left thousands of listeners asking the same question: “What are we to do?”

The apostle’s response is simple: “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins” (v. 38). As a result, 3,000 people were added to the new church that day (v. 41).

Does it seem strange that Peter said “repent” instead of “believe”? Scripture often uses these concepts interchangeably. Repentance and faith are two sides of the same coin: Both are essential for salvation, and each is dependent upon the other.

In terms of salvation, you cannot separate faith and repentance—both happen simultaneously. In order to be saved, you must place faith in Christ, and that faith decision requires a change of mind (repentance) about your way of life. Yet many people mistakenly believe they must dramatically change their way of living before they can follow Jesus. The truth is, repentance does not mean we must totally change our ways and “clean ourselves up” as a condition for receiving Christ as Lord.

Jesus is ready to receive you right now. Only as a child of God will you find the power—His power—to truly become the person you were created to be.

Success Blockers
Ask God to help you live freely and purposefully.
August 27, 2024

Isaiah 41:10-11

As we saw yesterday, God wants us to reach His goals for our life, but we also have an enemy who would like to prevent that. If we know what the roadblocks are, it is easier to recognize and overcome them.

Scripture identifies potential obstacles to watch for:

• Fear causes our focus to shift from Jesus to the very thing we want to avoid. The antidote is to refocus on God.

• Doubt is a lack of assurance that the Lord will help us to succeed. Past failures, negative influences, and ignorance of His Word can all lead to this obstacle.

• Excuses are an effort to make disobedience more comfortable. We must be careful to avoid false justifications like Adam’s complaint that Eve was to blame for his bad decision (Gen. 3:12). God always gives what we need in order to obey Him.

• Laziness and procrastination inhibit success. These related behaviors can prevent our achieving God’s purpose.

Wise people check their conduct to identify anything that might hinder following Christ fully. Ask God for strength to make changes that will help you live freely and purposefully in the way He has planned.

Success God’s Way
The Lord has a wonderful plan for blessing and fulfillment in your life.
August 26, 2024

Proverbs 3:5-6

How do we become successful? Contrary to the word’s common definition—which usually involves fame, fortune, or power—true success means becoming the person God wants each of us to be. Hebrews 12:1 offers His perspective on this: “Therefore, since we also have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let’s rid ourselves of every obstacle and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with endurance the race that is set before us.”

Here, we see the keys to success. First, it is important to find encouragement from the lives of other believers who have seen Christ’s faithfulness and followed His directions. Next, we should get rid of anything that holds us back from obeying God. Finally, we are to persevere, even through difficult or discouraging times. Today’s passage answers our original question: We achieve success only by relying on Jesus for guidance and strength.

God has a wonderful plan for blessing and fulfillment in your life, and part of His plan is that you live with purpose and persistence. The Father’s guidance will become clearer as you read His Word, pray for direction, and seek godly counsel. Does your definition of success for your life match the good plan God has for you?

A Lifestyle of Forgiveness
Offering God's mercy can be difficult; living with anger and bitterness is worse.
August 25, 2024

Ephesians 4:29-32

Showing mercy to those who hurt us does not come naturally—it’s easier to get angry at them. But God commands us to be merciful (Luke 6:36). We who have been shown divine mercy are to practice a lifestyle of forgiveness.

So why don’t we? Sometimes our pride gets in the way. We are angered when treated with disrespect, passed over for a job, or ignored. At other times we get focused on other people’s refusal to change, so we withhold mercy until they improve their behavior. And some of us have been badly hurt or treated unjustly. Our minds are filled with such pain that we become stuck in the past and cannot see how we’ll ever be able to forgive.

An unforgiving attitude can have all sorts of unwanted consequences, including broken relationships, emotional bo***ge, and indifference toward the Lord. The longer we hold on to our anger, the more it will affect our fellowship, not only with other people but also with our heavenly Father.

It is hard for us to pardon those who tell lies about us, treat us badly, or cause harm to our loved ones. And yet their behavior towards us is not a reason to withhold mercy. God calls us to forgive as He forgave us—and with His help, we can do just that.
