Absolutely Convinced?...

“He was absolutely convinced that God was able to do anything he promised.” Romans 4:21

My mind took in every word my eyes met to form each sentence God wrote. Sentence after sentence was filled with power, guidance, instruction, and wisdom.  Each sentence was taken in, processed, prayerful absorbed, and pondered on.

When all of the sudden, Jesus took my vision, my mind, and my flow of reading to a completely different level. A big ole halt, right on Romans 4:21.

“He (Abraham) was absolutely convinced that God WAS ABLE to DO ANYTHING  He promised.”

This particular verse sums up the type of faith, trust, and relationship Abraham had with God.

It hit me so hard I hit my face (literally) on the ground weeping and crying out to the Lord.

I have always considered my faith, trust, and relationship with the Lord to be pretty strong, until I read this passage and Jesus gave me a glimpse of reality.

I am convinced brethren, but ABSOLUTELY convinced?

I am convinced God is able, but ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED, He is able?

I am convinced God can do ANYTHING He promises, but ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED, He does?

Those absolute’s, have, well…been less than absolute. That is what brought me to my face.

How can my relationship with Christ be rock-solid, thriving, and grow, if I am not putting all of my ABSOLUTE trust, faith, and commitment into Him?

How can I be of great use to Christ if I am not ABSOULUTEY convinced that He will do what He says?

I just need to sit here a while longer…
