half-trust

Exodus 14: 10 "Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt? 12 Didn't we say to you in Egypt, 'Leave us alone; let us serve the Egyptians'? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert!"

Sounds familiar. How many signs and wonders does God have to work until we start learning to trust him? And what makes me think he owes any of these things to me anyway? I keep thinking about what Justin said, that many people claim to trust God but really, they're lying to themselves. We like to convince ourselves that we are trusting because it makes us feel like good Christians. The problem is that when God looks into our hearts, he's frustrated at our lack of faith in him. Can you say you trust God with your life if you're loosing sleep worrying about your needs? Can you say you've put your trust in Him if there's an area in your life you're still trying to find your own way out of?? It's like saying God I half-trust you.

"Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still."

Help me to BE STILL and trust that even in the stillness, you are God!
