'His vision and message reveal a simple but life-changing truth: Following God isn’t about striving; it’s about trusting God more.' - MelSpoelstra | IsaiahBibleStudy
Growing up in a small church in East Texas, I heard many messages during my formative years. I learned that I should believe in Jesus, treat others the way I wanted to be treated, and share my resources with others. I’m grateful for the truths that were imparted to me, but I also formulated some inaccurate ideas regarding Christianity.
I can tell you how it has worked for me. I’ve been following Jesus for more than 40 years now, and my attempts at heart transformation have left me with guilt and frustration, and they have caused me to go backward rather than forward in intimacy with God. When I’ve succeeded in the short term, I’ve often become prideful. Then in moments of failure, I’ve experienced shame. God doesn’t want either of these postures for us.
That all sounds so good! However, I know by now that there are times when I say with my mouth, “I trust God,” but my stress, worry, and lack of peace don’t evidence that kind of faith. Trust can be complicated, especially when people in our lives have broken it. Perhaps someone you counted on for protection and provision let you down. Maybe you invested your time and energy into a church and left feeling betrayed or neglected.
