Many were brought up in a system that saw God as a despot and a destroyer. They were taught in school that the earthquakes, tornadoes, floods and famine that have destroyed lives, cities and even nations are ‘the acts of God.’
And now as Christians, they still assume this to be true. How sad? It only proves their ignorance of God’s Word: they assume they know God’s Word but they don’t. They read the Bible but don’t understand; they go to church but are wrongly taught. Such Christians are exposed to Satan’s onslaughts and their lives can never be stable.
When your life is dominated by your experiences, assumptions or human opinions, you’ll never see God in the light of His Word; you’ll only interpret Him in the light of your experiences. Someone may say, “When my eye starts twitching, I know it’s good luck,” or “Whenever I find myself flying in my dream, I know I’m going to have a promotion.” Come on! You need to leave that realm of life!
We place limits on God with our lack of knowledge of His Word. Nothing is impossible to God, He can turn any situation around to your advantage, but the extent He’ll go depends on your knowledge of His will, because faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17). Moreover, you’re the character of the information you receive and your life is a reflection of what’s inside you.
God is good (Psalm 73:1); there’s no evil in Him. Get into His Word and learn more about Him. Let Him bring hope, peace, joy and rest into your life today.
