God is reliable

i am fascinated by a new angle in which i've seen God this week. God is reliable. that simple sentence came alive for me in a fresh new way. this week as unreliable thoughts, circumstances or people came into my life i must have said that sentence to myself five or six times to remain focused. i don' t think i have ever really meditated on God being reliable. There are HUGE implications when a human begins to grasp such a lofty view of God.

i mean, if i were to really let that sink deep into my soul by letting it permeate my conditioned thinking, i am completely positive my life would look different. why is it so hard to do? in my human struggle, i have to remember to keep God holy seperate from the definition that is evolving from everything unreliable around me this very moment. when i have the right perspective everything or everyone unreliable becomes unattractive drawing me near to what is, has been and will be. God is reliable.

the deeper i dig my heels into this truth, the less disappointment has a lasting effect on my emotional outcome. just think, if we truly believe God is a reliable God, when an adverse circumstance comes our way we are able to trust him when we need him. he won't change his mind everyday about how He feels about us or our situation. he is consistent. he is stable. he is honest. he is in control. we can fully trust him with our heart. just because we do not understand God sometimes, it doesn't mean He is not reliable.

in a world that is limited, remember....GOD IS RELIABLE.

when someone doesn't pay you on time....God is reliable.
when a family member hurts you...God is reliable.
when you lose your job.....God is reliable.
when someone breaks your trust...God is reliable.
when someone disrespects you...God is reliable.
when your car gets crushed....God is reliable.
when a relationship ends....God is reliable.
when your health is failing.....God is reliable.

This week when something happens to cause you frustration or pain.....whisper to yourself...."this sucks....i don't understand....BUT GOD IS RELIABLE!"
