Here’s a question I’ve been thinking about recently. What is the difference between having faith that God will do something – and – attempting to be God’s boss and dictating what might happen in any given situation? Let me know your thoughts.

I am struggling right now with that issue. I have a son that I just found out has a very large cyst in his head. Surgery has been recommended by the Drs so far. I have been declaring that God is going to miraculously remove the cyst from his head. Last week we took him to another Dr who said to leave it be. That he has had it his entire life and his brain has grown adaptively and with out the cyst there there would be a void in his head. Some how in the midst of all this confusion and I have fallen almost 3 months behind on my house and vehicles. I have declared Gods help to catching up for I am in the real estate bus. I had the chance through a bizarre set of circumstances to close a deal that would have provided basically after tithing the exact amount to catch everything up. It hasn’t gone through. I don’t understand. But the blog I read on this site “how to trust god when going through difficult times” really helped me out. I think it’s our duty to declare gods powerful and capable works in our life. With out faith all I do is limit him. When he doesn’t act as I would, it’s evident in hind site why. Thank goodness he’s in control and not me. I don’t know the answer I wish I did but perspective of the situation has so much to do with the result or outcome. I never would want to limit my amazing God. All I can do is ask Jesus for wisdom.
