Topic: Faith And God's Action

What happens to our faith when we have faith the Lord will act in a given way and He does not act like we expect? What do we do when God does something we do not want done? What do we do when He delivers something to us we do not want? What we must do, what we must absolutely do in every instance, is keep on believing, keep on trusting, and keep on expecting. Just because God acts in ways we do not want should mean nothing because we are His servants not His master. He is the master, we are the servant. Unfortunately, our sin causes us to ask God to serve us and serve our needs. In righteousness, we should always be asking God to help us serve Him as we put our wants and needs aside. Our sin tries to make us bring God down to our level. In righteousness, we should pray and ask God to lift us up, over, and above our sinful selfishness so we are ascending up to God rather than asking God to descend down to us. In seeking to ascend up to God, what God does or does not do in our life should make no difference, when we are moving on up to Him it.
