Unbelief

Matthew 13:57 - 59 – And they were offended by Him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his household.” And He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.

Have you ever experienced times when you wondered if God was really there and whether He heard as you called to Him?

While teaching a recent Bible study, I asked the attendees what was keeping them from a consistent prayer life. The response from most of them was that they were unsure as to whether God was hearing them or not. Because of their unbelief, they could not commit to consistency in prayer. This lack of consistency was keeping them from getting to the best plan of God for their lives.

Unbelief can be damaging to your relationship with God because you think that many of the things He desires to give you are too far-fetched and unbelievable. As you battle unbelief, you can be skeptical in your outlook on life and doubt what you may be able to accomplish. Your unbelief will keep you from obtaining anything of great value. God designed you with the ability to believe and trust Him.

From an early age, most of you learned to trust your parents, have confidence in what they said, and in their ability to provide and take care of you. God is your Father and He desires that you have the same level of belief and trust in His ability to hear and provide for you. When you lack belief, you are literally saying to God, “You are not big enough or great enough to handle the things that are a problem for me.” Imagine telling that to our big, awesome and amazing God.

Please ponder on mediate this:

What is your level of belief in God?
