Is our lives a wreck…

If you are trying to bring order into too much chaos in your life, you will grow discouraged quickly. In today’s world, where you can get almost anything you want in a matter of moments, we’ve been deluded into thinking that the same thing can happen with our personal goals. But it doesn’t work like that.

Since the day of Adam, God has commanded man to bring the world under his dominion. Don’t mistake the order of society and its complexity as something that happened overnight. The benefits that you and I experience from companies like Amazon have taken thousands of years of testing, trials, and innovation to accomplish. Yet you expect to bring order to your own life in a single day through a Pilates class or a one-time prayer session with Jesus?

It doesn’t work like that.

Start small. See how wretched and miserable you are, how much of a wreck your life is, and call upon the Lord for salvation. Then find the next smallest thing that needs attention and ask God to help you with that.

This is what it means to have faith as a mustard seed. It starts small and grows into the largest of herbs. Jesus wasn’t saying that you could move mountains with faith that remains as small as a mustard seed. He was saying that the kind of faith that moves mountains starts as a mustard seed and grows over time.

Learn to move the mustard seeds before you strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.

The Pharisee’s played Jesus. He was aware of their game and he could have isolated himself for protection but he believed his purpose was greater than the harm they could inflict on him and so he turned his back to the smiters.
This is the embodiment of maturity having the child like faith to follow your dream while having adult like awareness of others desire to exploit you and yet you remain faithful to your God given purpose.

Elijah trusted God to be God, and he knew that men would act according to their fallen nature. What he struggled to believe was that God’s sovereignty remains intact even when men are doing what men do.
