But if you believe that faithfulness is His character, then you can do anything He requires. He’s asking you to trust that He is who He says He is.ĭo you believe that God is a liar? It’s really that simple: either He is truthful or He’s not. You might feel that you do not have enough faith to obey, but the Lord isn’t asking you to have faith in favorable circumstances. You’ll begin to doubt even more about God’s character, such as His goodness-and that distrust will become a heavy load of baggage you’ll needlessly drag through every area of your life. When you doubt God’s trustworthiness, that unbelief becomes a gap in your spiritual armor, and you can be sure that’s exactly where Satan will attack you. So if you tell Him, “I can’t do that, Lord-what if I fail?” you’re really saying, “God doesn’t keep His word.” And yet, our total expectation should be in Him-not in our own energy, ability, or experience. Is there something God has told you to do that seems just too difficult? You can be sure that if He has called you to carry out His will, He’s going to be faithful to accomplish it through His Spirit living and working in you.
