Do I believe You?

I wonder.

Did Moses tell the Israelites everything God had said?

Did he tell them that Pharaoh would harden his heart against them?

Or did he only tell them that God would deliver them?

I wonder.

Did Moses himself take God’s warning seriously?

He certainly didn’t seem prepared in his heart when Pharaoh said no and the Israelites got upset with him.

How about us? Do we believe God?

Do we believe Jesus when he says, “In this world you will face suffering?” (John 16:33)

Do we believe Paul when he says hard times will come? (2 Timothy 3:1-5)

Do we believe Peter? (1 Peter 4:12)

More importantly, when we do face trials, do we keep believing God is good, that Jesus has overcome this world, and that God will keep his word and ultimately will deliver us?

The question I’m asking today, that all of us need to ask is, “God, do I believe you?”
