Act Like It

It’s hard to describe a meltdown but we all know what one looks like!  The Urban Dictionary says it’s when someone “freaks out, cracks up, loses control.”  Like a nuclear meltdown, it’s usually best to just clear the area!

 

We all can recall days when it seemed we were headed north in southbound traffic!  The writer of Romans 8:31 asks, “If God is for us, who can be against us?”  This isn’t a lighthearted or catchy phrase but rather a probe to consider just how confident you are in Almighty God.  I propose Christians, including myself, lack the proper view of God.  Aside from being feeble dust, why else are we prone to meltdowns?  God said, “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh.  Is anything too hard for me?” (Jeremiah 32:27).  Luke writes, “For nothing will be impossible with God.” (1:37).  Both of these Truths are profound and well-founded.  Don’t we not know “He Who promised is faithful” (Hebrews 10:23)?  Why the meltdowns – Why do we wring our hands in despair – Why do we live as if we have no Hope?  Quite simply, if we believe God is Who He says He is and does what He says He’ll do, let’s do something radical:  act like it!
