Thank you for sharing.
It sounds like a bad cliché, but I am trying to not ask the Lord to remove a mountain, rather I am asking Him for the strength and wisdom to respond if He choses not to move the mountain.
For me, this is a hard lesson.
It can be a VERY hard lesson but a wonderful one. The end result is knowing the Sovereignty of God. I think you and I have talked in the past so you have a clue as to some of the hard lessons to which I allude. The lessons from that experience were the most difficult I’ve ever had to learn.
Go ahead and ask him to move that mountain..it’s OK to ask. You merely trust his answer because he can see outcomes from all directions with every variable possible. He will choose the very best for you..hand selected with your uttmost best interest in mind. The lesson is to trust him and his goodness. Trusting him is what brings peace. We dont have to worry. The lesson keeps repeating till we learn it..maybe in various forms, but each time it repeats itself, it IS the final exam. Pass it and he will teach you something else you need to know. This is how you learn to see his face and know his heart. Each lesson builds upon the other. This is how you learn to rejoice in hardship.
All of God’s lessons with his children as they wandered in that desert were difficult. But they had to learn to trust him. Those who didn’t trust didn’t do so well.
So what is the difference between trust and faith?
