Hard to Believe God?

Why is it hard sometimes to believe God? I mean He has made promises to us throughout scripture to protect us, not to harm us, all for His Glory and our good. Why do we so easily forget this? I think in today’s modern, technological age, we base most of our decisions on how we feel. It’s because of the heavy influence of a God-less, “all about me” society. Sure we will feel scared, excited, depressed, anxious, elated, or hurt, but those feelings are just feelings. They are subjective; they change over time. God is objective. His promises don’t change over time. He is immutable, remember. He is as dependable today as He was in David’s time, He doesn’t change. We should base our actions, decisions, and outlook on His promises, instead of of on our ever-so-fleeting, subjective feelings. When David’s last words tell us that God’s promises are “arranged and guaranteed in every detail”, we need to believe it, and act accordingly. Base your life on the objective, never-changing, words of God, rather than the always-changing, subjective feelings we have been trained by society to live our lives by. True North is still True North, regardless of how we feel about it. God’s word and His promises will always lead us down the right path; it’s just a matter of trusting It over our feelings.

5 “Is it not my family God has chosen?Yes, He has made an everlasting covenant with me. His agreement is arranged and guaranteed in every detail. He will ensure my safety and success. 2 Samuel 23:5
