You ask GOD a question.
HE says YES.
HE opens the door for you to walk through.
You are all excited, because you know GOD has said YES.
But then your circumstances change.
And then DOUBT comes knocking at your door.
Did GOD REALLY SAY YES,
when the going gets tough?
Hmm.
As I am in the middle of a blizzard in New Jersey,
not sure when I will get back to Florida,
for I have a women's event approaching.
CONFUSION and FRUSTRATION are being birthed,
which is bleeding DOUBT into my mind,
so that
I want to throw the towel in and cancel this event.
DOUBT speaks,
DID GOD REALLY SAY YES,
even though all the signs I see are saying NO?.
Hmm.
Do I have selective HEARING,
because I am DOUBTING GOD'S YES,
and
HIS PROMISE
that
HE will equip me
to
FINISH all that needs to be completed for this event,
just because I am buried beneath snow?
Hmm.
Does a BLIZZARD have the power to change GOD'S mind,
or the power to strive to change my mind?
I know the answer, yet
I am at a standstill,
because FRUSTRATION and CONFUSION are
striving to get the best of me.
Then GOD speaks again,
"SEEK THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART".
And I am.
And
GOD ANSWERS me once again,
with NOAH.
What if NOAH dropped the hammer,
when building the ark
because he didn't see the flood coming?
Hmm.
What if NOAH DOUBTED GOD,
because others where DOUBTING GOD,
as they watched him building an ARK,
even thought there wasn't a drop of water in sight.
WHAT IF?
WHAT IF GOD changed
HIS mind about
GRACING THE WORLD
with
JESUS
to bring FORGIVENESS
upon all HIS CREATIONS,
because HIS CREATIONS where DOUBTING HIM?
Where would I be today?
Ouch!
GOD knew I would be stuck in a blizzard,
but HE is also here with me.
FRUSTRATION + CONFUSING = DOUBT.
And if GOD is not the GOD of confusion,
then I am listening not to GOD.
WOW.
After a sleepless night of listening to the beeping and talking fire alarm,
when the electricity was confused whether to shut down or stay on,
I am looking out of my window seeing a blanket of pure WHITE.
THANK YOU GOD.
GOD didn't give up on me, when I was giving up on HIM.
What if NOAH didn't build the ark that GOD asked him to do?
The ark took at least 100 years to build.
I can hear the hammer.
TAP. TAP. TAP.
Driving the nails into the wood.
TAP. TAP.TAP.
Driving the nails into the wooden cross,
but first through the hands and feet
of JESUS ,
because GOD ALWAYS KEEPS HIS PROMISES.
What if JESUS DOUBTED GOD?
Where would GRACE be?
Ouch.
TAP. TAP. TAP.
Is GOD TAPPING on your heart to walk through a door HE OPENED,
but DOUBT is TAPPING louder to drown out HIS YES!
What if today you closed the DOOR on DOUBT,
and kept pressing forward through HIS OPEN DOOR
even if you can't see the rain?
"WHAT IF"
(listen to the song below)
