Do We Have a Trust issue With God?

Most people that go to church do not want to say they have a trust issue with God.  But if I had to guess at some time in our walk with God have had just that.  But that is ok, when we look at the first Chapter of Luke we see the story of a man named Zacharias.  Zacharias is about to learn that he is going to become father, not in the traditional fashion though, an angle of the lord is going to tell Him.  While being told this Zacharias ask this question, “how will I know that this is so? For I am an old man, and my wife is getting on in years.”(Lk 1:18)  Zacharias is told that God is about to do a incredible miracle and instead of jumping up and down, he says I’m old.  This is a common thing though in our own walk with God, is it not?  Only many times we have different responses, how can God love me because  of all that have done?  How do you expect to not sin? I have sinned my whole life.  You want to speak to whom about you, do you know what they are like? 

Just like Zacharias and many others we forget that we serve the God that created the universe, that God  sent His Son to earth so that we may come to know Him.  Christ who died rose from the Grave defeating death so we would not have to fear it.  We forget, this is common, let us not forget how quickly Israel forgot on the way to the promise land, and they watched God separate the Red sea.  In the first chapter of Deuteronomy we read about many those who went to see the land that God had promised to give them came back and said that they could not conquer the land.  In many ways they were correct, but they forgot they did not need to fight they just needed to remember that God was going to do the fighting for them.  They didn’t trust God and so they were not allowed to enter into the promised land they had to walk around the desert for forty years.    We too are like Zacharias and Israel we come up with all kinds of reasons not to put our trust in God, we say how can God do such a work, we forget that He is a mighty God.  He is the one who created this earth put in place the laws of physic and made sure everything has its proper place. 

When we decide not to trust God we miss out on His blessings, we miss out having true peace in our hearts.  We are able to watch God do some amazing things in our life if we put our trust in Christ and realize we are able to live a life pleasing to God.  For Romans 3:21-26, “ But now God has shown us a different way of being right in his sight—not by obeying the law but by the way promised in the Scriptures long ago.   We are made right in God’s sight when we trust in Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, no matter who we are or what we have done.  For all have sinned; all fall short of God’s glorious standard.   Yet now God in his gracious kindness declares us not guilty. He has done this through Christ Jesus, who has freed us by taking away our sins.  For God sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins and to satisfy God’s anger against us. We are made right with God when we believe that Jesus shed his blood, sacrificing his life for us. God was being entirely fair and just when he did not punish those who sinned in former times.  And he is entirely fair and just in this present time when he declares sinners to be right in his sight because they believe in Jesus.”
