"Help My Unbelief!"

It was just before midnight. Because of snowy roads, I was driving my 22-year-old son to his night shift at the local radio station in my four-wheel-drive. We had a sacred and soul-searching talk about the Lord as we rode. Just before I dropped him off, and in light of our conversation about faith, my son asked: Dad, why do we tend to struggle trusting God concerning the future when He's always been so faithful in the past?

Mark 9:24 (NKJV) -- Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!"

This is my prayer and desire for me and my family, Lord:

For Your present and future favor, we ask!
In Your past and present faithfulness, we bask!

IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.

Blush And Weep?

In my quiet time this morning, Psalm 119:36 from The Message Paraphrase of the Holy Bible struck a cord in my soul:

I cry rivers of tears because nobody’s living by your book!

I wonder if the main reason the world doesn't seem to blush over sin anymore, is that the people called by God's name don't seem to weep over sin anymore?

IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.
