Hard Questions

My people, I do not want you to remain immature. When you find that My proclamations about Christ seem impossible to reconcile with your life and the culture that you live in, know that I seek a willing response from you. As you approach me with a heart to learn, fearless to believe that I am a good God, then you will start (or restart) the journey of knowing more of my character. Your trust in me will not be forsaken.

Vocalise hard questions to me and Godly others who love my logos word, for that, linked with your determination not to run away from life’s difficulties, is what I am looking for. Let your deliberations lead to obedience, for as you chew these things over, I will reveal myself through my Spirit. 

I have already given you the capacity to face the world. You will not be overcome. I call you to an abundant life of getting to know me, and rightly handling my word.

Activation: Think of one question that you have on your heart. Are you willing to discuss it with another Christian? Be willing to be open with another person of God’s leading to begin some healthy ‘chewing’. Set a time aside to have that conversation.

2 Peter 1:3-4 (MSG) 

Everything that goes into a life of pleasing God has been miraculously given to us by getting to know, personally and intimately, the one who invited us to God. The best invitation we ever received! We were also given absolutely terrific promises to pass on to you- your tickets to participation in the life of God after you turned your back on a world corrupted by lust.

2 Peter 1:5-8 (NIVUK) 

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self- control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
