"yes, God did help me before, but this one looks more harder than the previous one! I'm worried about how i will get around this.I need to do something about it...."
It is easy to get carried away by the enormousness of our problems or difficulty forgetting what God has done to us in the past. Our excuse for not believing whether God will help us through this time is the context of the situation.
Don't we sound similar to the ancient Israelites when they came out of Egypt? In spite of seeing an ocean split into two before their eyes to make way for them to pass through, the complained every time they got thirsty! Won't the same God who opened the sea, will provide them water to drink?
The Psalmist says in Psalms 106 that their forefathers tested God in the wilderness. We don't test God when we don't trust him. No matter how big the situation or how impossible it sounds, God will perform his miracle if we put our trust in God and not in our ability. Reading these verse convicted me of the times when I tested God. How horrible it feels to know that I was testing God! That is the last thing I want to do, but every time I lean on my own understanding, try to figure out ways and means to get things done and make decisions based on my needs, I've tested God!
Thanks to God for this conviction, I will no longer test God,but will trust more.
