September 20 – Deliberate v. Reckless Faith. Malachi 3:6 “For I am the LORD, I change not….”

Oswald Chambers once said, “Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time.” You see, Mr. Chambers had it right, and the Mormon Church has it backwards. We wait on God because we have confidence in who He says He is. We don’t make things up as we go along just to suit societal needs, or our own, as Smith did throughout his tenure as ‘prophet’.
We’ve not given the Lord anything to work with if we don’t accept who He is, and that He never changes. How can we grow, and how can we know who He really is if we’ve already made up our minds of who we believe He isn’t?
