Whats your opinion of God?

Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Our opinion of God matters a great deal in our lives... it governs our actions, our thinking , our feelings and so forth... but how shall we look at GOd? Most of the time when we get up, usually the first feeling we get is usually a feeling of God being far and distant... the enemy loves it when he succeeds in making God look unapproachable or even impersonal... Thats why daily renewing of our mind is very impt... Today let me remind you, God is a wonderful heavenly Father who loves you completely and showed HIs love by dying a horrible death for you to bring you close to Him. What is faith? Heb 11:1, faith is confidence in a good God. Faith is actually making a decision to believe that God is good... therefore we contantly renew our mind, and the devil keeps lying to us that GOd is not a good God... and His promises would never come to pass for your life..... David had a great promise from God that one day He'll be king, but the trial he went through challenge his faith, sometimes he almost lose that confidence and the hope... one of my favourite key verse is Psalms 27 : 13

Psalms 27:13
I would have lost heart unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Faith is actually making a decision to believe that God is good whether in good or bad times... the answer for a sense of hopelessness and despair is to make a decision to believe that God is good... thats why God is pleased with faith, which is our decision to believe in HIs goodness and promises. What are you going thru now that is causing you to lose heart? Maybe a financial crisis... A health issue.... maybe a struggling relationship? maybe a sense of confusion and fear... or even grieving with the past... let me declare to you that GOd's goodness would recompensate your losses, what you need to do is to believe and keep your hopes up... Abraham only receive his promise child at 99, David was anointed king at a young age but only came to position after 30years.... There is a time that God would step in.... Lets have faith.. lets make a decision to believe together in the goodness of God....Lets keep our hopes up...:)

Psalms 31:14-15
But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord; I say, "You are my God." My times are in Your hand....
