Today's Treasure: "Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people." -Isaiah 57:14
Last week you studied the 5 benefits of a believer, this week you will look at the 5 obstacles in your walk with God, that correspond to those benefits. Ladies, this is when it starts to get real! Lol. One of the things that stood out to me was the distinction that's made between believing God, and believing IN God. I think sometimes we don't realize there's a difference. Often times we might want try to convince ourselves, or others that we believe what God says, what He promises, but if we're honest, the truth is we don't. If this is or has ever been an obstacle for you, what causes your unbelief? If you do struggle with believing in God (for whatever the reason), be honest with yourself, and be honest with Him about it in prayer, that He may remove this obstacle.
Question 1: What are some obstacles you've battled in previous efforts to live the liberated, abundant life in Christ?
Question 2: Regarding Mark 9:21-23, how did the father reveal a lack of confidence in Christ's ability and how did Christ respond in verse 23?
In response to question 1, some of the obstacles I've dealt with are fear, unwillingness, lack of trust and sin.
