IT IS SAD

       It is sad really. The thought that one person cannot make a difference.  It is sadder when the person that believes that lie is a Christian.  The lie that changes are impossible is a very old one and it comes from the old deceiver, Satan.  In the Old Testament we find the people of Israel in the wilderness.  In Numbers 13-14 they were receiving the long awaited report from the twelve spies sent into the land that was promised to them by God.  Only two out of the twelve believed God’s promise of this land belonging to them.  The ten that did not believe in God believed in the lies of Satan.  They caved to fear and managed to instill fear in most of the people that they were reporting to.  The lie was that they could not do it.  The Lord was clear in his discontent with the unbelieving people, His people.  “The LORD said to Moses, “…How long will they refuse to believe in me…” Numbers 14:11 (NIV) 

        The question in that verse was directed towards Moses but, God has asked us that very question too.  If you were to insert your name in the blank it would read, “_______ how long will you refuse to believe me?”  The thing is, we often refuse to believe the Lord.  I know I have.  I know that God has a plan and a purpose for you as well as for me.  “I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.” Jeremiah 29:11 (MSG) Even though we know He has a plan we still allow fear to creep in and take away our belief in God’s ability.  It would be awesome if all of us believers would just rebuke Satan’s lies and accept that we can make a difference for the Kingdom of God. 

Thank you for reading! Have a wonderfully blessed day my dear friends!
