I Am the Lord Your God (part 16)

God and Only God is Supreme. His rulership is above all. (Isaiah 45:6-12) To question Him continuously causes me to eventually make null and void His leadership. And that is not because of God. God has everything under control. I on the other hand am weak and lowly but think that I am high and mighty. He created me, knows me better than I’ll ever know. He formed me and breathed life into me. He gave me His Spirit. Why shouldn’t I trust that I can do all things through Him that strengthens me? (Phil 4:13) I am not so sure that doubting is the same thing as questioning God. Even Peter had doubts but He never doubted that Jesus was and is Lord. Those doubts cause us to choose and trust comes in having those doubts and yet moving through that tunnel toward the Light of the World. Similarly I can be angry but I must not in that anger sin. (James ) I must not give satan the foothold that Cain gave Him. I must not disrespect Him, although I am told I can go boldly before His throne (Hebrews 4:16) and that I should talk to Him as “Abba” (Romans 8:14-17). God gave me a free will, and He has equipped me with His Word. Now it is up to me. Doubting and anger with God are not a sin. Denying His power, telling Him that He is wrong, questioning Him constantly…that leads to the sin of pride in me because I come to believe I can do better than God.
