Well, for example. When you call up the pizza man ( a person whom you have never seen nor met), order your pizza, and then hang up the phone. Do you trust that he is making the pizza, putting it in a box, getting in his car, and driving to your house? You trust him right?
Because if you were in fear you would call him back every few minutes checking to make sure that he heard you, that he is working on it, and that he is doing it right. You would call him when he was in his car to make sure he wasn't getting lost or turning down the wrong street. You definitely wouldn't set the table for dinner until he arrived because deep down, you really don't trust that he can or will do it right or on time. You are in fear of not receiving what you asked for.
Yet, we do that with God. We pray, we re-pray, and we ask again just to be sure He heard us. We beg, we plead, we worry, and we get into fear. Especially when our answer seems to be late. Yet, we trust the pizza delivery person, whom we have never seen, and never met. A mere human.
Can you agree that it seems a little backwards?
Today, if you are in fear about ANYTHING, read these two scriptures below. Then pray, and trust that God heard you, that He loves you, and that He will take care of you.
I believe that it wasn't a mistake that you read this today.
- Philippians 4:6-7
Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ
- 1 Peter 5:7
Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.
