When Your Faith Fluctuates...

There are times and seasons in our lives when our faith fluctuates and we start to question it. What we don’t realize is that a life that pursues God will have these kinds of moments. When we start to question, “what does God want from me?”, we need to go back to the basics of our faith. These basics never change. They never lose their importance or effectiveness in our lives. God always (daily) wants us to listen carefully to His voice. If you’re not hearing His voice, you need to press into Him more and realize sometimes His voice is already being communicated in His silence. His voice sometimes is what we already know, what we read in scripture. So regardless if we “feel” close to God, we need to “DO” what is right in His sight, “obeying His commands and keeping His decrees”. This just means aligning your heart with His. Loving people, helping those in need, and having an attitude of “I’m important, but not as important as I might think”. God honors those that honor Him. He takes care of His children.

25 So Moses cried out to the Lord for help, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. Moses threw it into the water, and this made the water good to drink.It was there at Marah that the Lord set before them the following decree as a standard to test their faithfulness to Him. 26 He said, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, obeying His commands and keeping all His decrees, then I will not make you suffer any of the diseases I sent on the Egyptians; for I am the Lord who heals you.” Exodus 15:25-26
