It's important to regularly search our hearts and make sure our view of God is healthy.
Our relationship with God should always be changing and growing. That’s one of the things that makes it exciting.
Learn to believe in God’s purpose for us by reading the Parable of the Talents and asking ourselves three questions.
In this devotional, we will ask ourselves a few questions to reflect on how we view God so we can understand who he really is.
God trains, guides, and directs us even when we don’t realize it.
We have to remember to let the Bible shape our view of God, instead of our emotions or experiences.
The Bible teaches how to build confidence in God, not self.
When we experience testing, pain and failure in our lives, it is easy to give into fear and doubt. “Flipping the Switch” is about learning to let God use our personal passion, ambition, dreams, pain, and setbacks for his greater purpose of saving lives.
With secure confidence in the saving power of God, we tightly grip the “sword of the Spirit”, which is God’s Word, and then march forward in our fight to rescue others from the darkness.
Pray about your lack of trust in God. What areas of your life are you unwilling to trust God with, and how has this affected your desire to pray? How has it affected your desire to read your Bible?
Jesus's confidence was in God, so when people were fickle he remained faithful, which is why I think so many people found him attractive. We must read the scriptures with greater intensity to learn this confidence, so we continue to keep the dream of Jesus alive and build his kingdom, regardless of whether we are many or few, important or irrelevant, succeeding or failing, being criticized or praised.
