trust

1 Peter 5:7 Give all your worries & cares to God, for He cares about what happens to you.

Every once in a while, I'm impressed by our stupidity.

How many times in the Bible does God specifically say to us that we don't have to worry about stuff - that He's got us covered?

And how much to we REALLY believe Him?

If Bill Gates (or any other billionaire) said to us, "You don't have to worry about money for the rest of your life" & then proceeded to pay our bills each month, how long would it take & how many times would he have to come through with money for us before we believed him & started depending on his generosity & started depending on it being there.

How many times does God have to bail our butts out, how many times does He have to guide us through the minefield of life, or sustains us in tough or good times, until we start depending on Him?

We just don't trust Him. That's what it comes down to. We just don't think He'll come through. We think we have to make it happen. "God helps those who help themselves" is NOT in the Bible.

What would happen if we really & truly told God "whatever"?

Whatever...

Wherever...

Whenever...

Whoever...

However...

I challenge you to do it for 6 weeks, & then write me about what you life has been like.

Brace yourself if you do. God will mess with you.

Will it be boring? No.

Will it be something you can do on your own? No.

Will it be scary? Yes.

Will it be worth it? Yep.
