Work From Rest

Doubt. Unbelief. Rest in God.

Sometimes I struggle with these things. God is so faithful. He has been with me always, but there are times when doubt and unbelief takes over. I start to worry and fret.. 

Be anxious for nothing, it says elsewhere in Philippians.. 

I should be able to rest and believe God has it… Right?? At this point in my walk with Him, I have a history of His faithfulness in my life, so I should be able to just rest and know that I don’t need to worry and fret… 

And yet……

It still happens. 

I have to do this or that and make something happen. I have to be the one to orchestrate something that I want. Or that God asked me to do. I doubt that He will help me. Unbelief keeps me from seeing Him in the situation. 

Doubt and Unbelief in myself:

I have published three children’s books now. Each one has a story about how it came to be. Sometimes I thought I had to be the one to make the story work. I agonized and thought. I spent hours playing around with the wording and what I thought it should look like. 

And yet, each one, when I got quiet and just listened, came to be. Each one had a point where I knew that this was the way the story was to be. 

Yes, I still had to go through the process of illustrations and publishing with all its challenges and hiccups. Yes, I still had to do the work to make them happen. 

I’m not at all saying it’s good to just sit on the couch and eat bonbons while God does all the work. 

Doubt His Voice:

I am saying that we need to stop, get quiet and listen for His Word. 

His guidance. 

His instruction. 

And then things fall into place and work out just the way they should. 

In Hebrews 4:7, it says, “if only TODAY you would listen to His voice…”. If only we would stop and really listen to His voice. I mean, really listen.

(myself included!!) 

Things would go so much better for us all. Don’t doubt that He will speak to our hearts. Believe that He is with you. Believe that He does have a plan and a purpose. 

Get Quiet:

Get quiet today and listen to His voice for you and for what you are going through. He will answer. Maybe not right this minute or in the next few minutes. But, know that He is listening. He does know what is going on in your life. And he does want the best for you. And for sure, He does want to speak to your heart. 

Remove Doubt and Unbelief from your mind and heart. Don’t fall short. 

Enter into His rest and just listen. 

Have a great day!!
