Do you trust Jesus? Be careful how you answer. You’ll discover the real answer in how you handle waiting for results. Remember the truth: it takes time to retrain your brain. Well, how then do you handle waiting on change?
Most of us have been taught that we should expect to see some kind of immediate results when we put in any kind of effort. This kind of thinking spills over into our walks with Jesus and opens the doors for our drugs of choice to walk right in to rescue us when we don’t see those results. We want our lives changed … yesterday! We want our drugs gone. We want to experience the good stuff.
This isn’t the life change process that God set out in Scripture. We are not to trust in what we see at the moment, but in Jesus and His Word. Psalm 20:7-8 states, “Some trust in chariots and some in horses (what they see), but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. They (those who trust in what they see) are brought to their knees and fall (aka suffer the consequences of their drugs of choice), but we rise up and stand firm.”
Will you keep practicing your biblical tools everyday everywhere regardless of what you see? If you can answer yes, you trust Him. If the answer is no, then it’s time to ask the Spirit to increase your faith in exercising the truths He’s given you even when it doesn’t seem like it’s working.
