Envy of Unbelief

God never discourages honest questions or doubt. When resolved, they often leave us on less rocky, more solid ground. The hard part sometimes is confessing the envy of those who don’t seem to need God, or the doubts,or questions. Don’t be afraid. God doesn’t run away the minute we have questions.

I Deserve This

Deuteronomy 9:4 When the Lord has done this for you, don’t say in your hearts, “The Lord has given us this land because we are such good people!” This concept came up in a Bible study lately.
