I'm sitting here blogging for work, checking project lists and making sure all of my ducks are in a row. I randomly had a question pop in my head about asking for things to happen, receiving it and then being scared to take it. Why do we ask God for certain situations to happen in our lives and when he gives it to us, we become scared of it? Now, I KNOW I'm not the only one that has had this question or it happening to you personally. You know how you can ask "God, please grant me a new job opportunity or please grant me with financial stability" and when he prepares it right in front of our eyes, we question it?! What causes us to feel scared or second guess what he gives us? Is it faith? I've had it happen to me before and I couldn't believe how quickly he provided an answer to my request. I mean, I was really blown away. I even questioned it. Just out of curiosity, what do you all think about it?
BROWN SKIN. BIG DREAMS.
I've done that before too. I think we question it because we can't believe that it actually happened. We have the faith to pray and ask for it but not enough faith to totally trust it when it comes. I'm working on that as we speak. Also, I think when you've been chasing a dream or an opportunity for a while and God gives it to you then you question what's next and what you should be chasing after now. If all you know is asking then once the answer is there it can be like now what? I think it's a natural thing for people that takes constant work.
ReplyDeleteI think you will find a lot of people are "waiting on God". There is a saying that goes: "Pray like it all depends on God, Work like it all depends on you". With this combination of you and God,what great momentum you can build to fulfill your dreams, passions, and what an impact you would make on your life and those around you!
ReplyDeleteI think it speaks to our level of expectation and faith. When God blesses us, often times we are shocked and surprised because we are not used to things always "coming through" or working out for us. We have to get to a place where we always expect and have the faith that Great Things will happen for us. Standinng on Gods promises is not a cliche that is said in the church, but it is a requirement for us, Gods creation. If we raise our level of expectation, then we won't be afraid when what we ask for comes through. The bible says that the blessings of the Lord make us rich and adds no sorrow. That is not to say that we won't he uncomfortable in our blessing, but according to God we won't experience sorrow in our discomfort.
