What is it that gives some believers an extreme confidence in God while other believers struggle? Faith. Faith enables us to see God on top of all our problems. When we only see the problems, we become depressed and start making wrong choices. Faith enables us to see that God is bigger than any mountain and gives the confidence to know that he can cake care of us. If God is for you, it doesn’t matter how many demons oppose you or what your opponents say about you. When you walk in faith you start your day thinking, “Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life (even today), and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever (today)” (Psalm 23:6). People who walk in faith are still realists. They often admit that they don’t know how it is all going to work out; but insist their God will supply nonetheless. In contrast, unbelief has a devious way of envisioning negative things. The glass is always half empty. Unbelief loves to paint the bleakest picture it can. It will cause us to mumble to ourselves, “This is going to turn out terrible; I am not going to make it.” Unbelief will stop us in our tracks, wrestling with the smallest of problems. So, which path are you walking on?
