Truth Exposed: Trust #3
In Trust #1 and Trust #2, I talked about how to trust God and why we sin. In this blog I will endeavor to discuss the reasoning behind the lack of trust in God. It’s called “conditioning,” to have a learned response. We are conditioned from birth to fully rely on our 5 senses: see; hear; smell; taste; and touch. If we can’t apply one or more of these senses to anything, well, it doesn’t exist, ask any scientist. In John 20:24, Thomas firmly rejected Christ’s resurrection until he had used his senses. Yet, in verse 29, Jesus said those who believe without proof are blessed. The solution? Change our stinkin’ thinkin’ . We can't walk in the spirit with a carnal mind. Romans 12:2. Re-condition, re-learn, how we think and respond to spiritual matters. Remember where we are: John 17:16; Philippians 3:20-21; 1 Cor 3:19. Here is the fix:
2 Cor 5:7; Hebrews 11:1. To my mind, trust and faith walk hand-in-hand.
Read carefully.
Ask questions.
Know your scriptures.
