Matthew 14

JUST A LITTLE FAITH IS ALL IT TAKES!

Do you have trouble making decisions?  Does it take you a long time to make up your mind about something?

Be careful about what you pray for.  Ask for Him to guide and direct you with a willing heart to follow His leading.  God often leads into these times and places of decision.  God will not force His will upon you.  He will bring you to a point of making a decision for Him.  But, it is still ultimately up to us as to whether or not we choose the God-honoring choice.   God never forces His will or His way upon us.  God is a gentleman, who allows us to choose.

If God really has our best interests in mind, then why do we struggle so much in our decision making? A lack of faith in God is the basis of our indecisiveness.   God is not expecting you to be a spiritual giant.  We are constantly prone to unfair comparisons.  We should not compare ourselves among ourselves.  God has an individual, specific will for your life.  Don’t campare your calling to others’.

All God expects is that whenever He leads us to a place of decision, we will excersise our faith.  If God is the Giver of our faith, then the robber of our faith (satan) is the one who we are allowing to complicate our decision making. 

Just a little faith is all it takes!

It is God who is leading us into these places of decision.  God leads men to places of decision where a choice must be made within a particular period of time.  Don’t let Jesus of God’s will pass you by.  If you don’t choose, your chance will be missed.  These men had to decide who Jesus really was.
