“Character Defects and Trusting God: #Iamtheproblem”
What is my central problem? My character defects! My central problem isn’t society. It isn’t women. It isn’t political persons or affairs. It isn’t my past or my future. My central problems is the fault lines in my own heart and soul.
#IamtheProblem!
And what are my character defects? They are many!
But is there a character defect that feeds all the others?
I don’t know, and maybe it isn’t important that I know. However, I do have a suspicion. I suspect that I don’t trust God. That, I think, is the central problem.
If I really trusted God, I would trust that he has given me enough, that I therefore have enough, do enough, and am enough.
Even if I am empty—as I am a good deal of the time—I would see that emptiness as a God-given emptiness.
Today, moment by moment, I will choose to trust God. I will trust and see what happens. There don’t have to be any signs or miracles. I will simply choose to trust that there is a God and that God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek God (Hebrews 11:6).
I will begin by trusting God to give me the strength to trust God.
