You Have My Word
You Have My Word
“But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Romans 10:16-17
It can be difficult thing to take someone at their word. I have found that the more I know the person giving their word, the easier it is to know whether or not they will keep it. I want to be someone that people can trust when I give them my word, but the reality is, there have been times that circumstances hinder me from keeping it or I just forgot to accomplish whatever it was...I am just a frail and powerless man who can only do the best that this flesh can do.
God is not frail nor is He powerless. God gave us His Word, yet so many of us struggle to believe it and even more so to obey His Word. I have a theory as to why that might be. I think that the reason we don’t obey God’s Word in our live is we don’t believe God will keep it. I know that may rub some people the wrong way but it remains to be a solid theory. If you believe something your life shows it. Funny thing, God’s Word tells us that real faith produces real action. In other words, if you believe it you will live it. I have another theory as to why we don’t believe God’s Word. I think that the problem is, we don’t know God. I am not just talking about salvation, though that is the problem if you aren’t born again, but if you are His Child, why don’t you know Him the way He wants you to know Him? You have His Word.
