This Week’s Recovery Application Challenge
Trusting the Known God
Following up with the story of Jairus and the woman from Luke Chapter 8, let’s look at the following questions at they relate to the TWIRL you just completed. Have you ever had someone agree to help you with something and by the time he/she showed up it was too late? Provide an example.
- Have you ever felt like God has forgotten about you? Can you provide an example?
- How did you feel about that? Explain.
- How would you say you interact in relationships with people that you do not know very well?
- How well do you tend to trust people that you don’t know very well?
- How well would you say you know God? Explain.
- What is your perception of God? How do you see Him?
Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see. Hebrews 11:1 (NLT) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV)
- Both Jairus and the woman had confidence in the healing power of Jesus Christ. What about you today? What would say is your confidence level on a scale of 1-10 that God will intervene in your life where you need Him to? Explain.
- What is happening your circumstances and relationships today that you need evidence that God is involved?
- Like Jairus, no matter how dire your situation is, and when it feels like all hope is lost, how long are you willing to wait for God to bless you, heal you, provide for you, prosper you?
Please take some time right now to offer your problem into the care of Jesus Christ. Like Jairus, if you are a parent, offer your children to God. If you are married or in a loving relationship, offer your mate to God. If it involves your job and your finances, offer it all to God. He is there for you. Trust Him to bless you in His time, and be confident in the knowledge that it’s not a matter of if with God, it is a matter of time.
