"Immediately the boy's father cried out and said, "I do believe; help my unbelief."
Mark 9:24 (NASB95)
My struggles over the past few days have been that of my unbelief. Not
in God, not in my Lord, Jesus Christ, but in myself. It’s an unbelief that
questions, “why does God really care or want to help me?”
Right now, to be honest, my only problems in life are money problems. I
have no health problems, my family has no health problems, we have food to eat,
a roof over our heads and yet I still have unbelief. Why would God care about
my money problems, when so many people in the world have problems money cannot fix?
I am thankful that my only problems are money related, but this is where
questions lie within me. Why, if I am doing the things God is asking me to do,
would He allow me to struggle in this area more than any other? Why of all the
things of the world to worry about, do I focus on money?
God wrote about money more than any other topic in the bible, besides
love.
He said in 1 Timothy 6:10
(NASB95) 10 "For the love
of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have
wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many grief’s".
Is their unbelief in your life? Take the focus on that problem or
issue, give it to God and place Him in your focus once again. And ask him to
help you with your unbelief. Build your relationship with Him and all other
problems will seem to fade away.
