It is reality today to say that many supposed Christians are already feeling offended by God. On Sunday morning, if you go out when people are in churches, you will discover that many Jeremiahs and Joshuas are at home because they have stopped going to church. Though, they were born in the church, they have stopped attending church services because they are angry with God.
Some people who have waited on the Lord to have solutions to some problems in their lives often withdraw from the fellowship of believers because they feel God has not given them answers to their prayers. This will never bring solution to any situation of man.
Friend, the
reason this happens to some of us is that we have not yet completely dedicated
our lives to God. People really need to know that God is greater than all men
and our needs. Anyone who truly wants to follow God must be ready to go through
a time of test (Deut. 8: 2-3). This is a time when it looks as though God has
forgotten us, when we are faced with challenges of life. This is just a period
when our determination to follow God is tested.
No matter what you may be going through, devote yourself completely to God. This is not because you need anything from Him, but because He is your God. If you stick to God because you want Him to meet your needs, you will soon be offended in Him. Decide to follow Him for who He is and He will always answer your prayers. Peace!
Prayer: Lord,
help me not to be offended in you.
“THE
EVIDENCE OF DEDICATION IS THE WILLINGNESS TO SERVE AND WAIT ON GOD, NO MATTER
WHAT”.
