Why Is It so Hard to Trust God?
Prosperity
You can understand and even sympathize with people whose poverty and hardships have made them suspicious of God’s love and power. Has it ever occurred to you that prosperity is an even greater spiritual burden?
Jesus told his shocked disciples once, “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God” (Matthew 19:24). He said this from sad experience, because his encounters with the wealthy were usually not pleasant. God gives money to people as a tool to make his agenda happen. He provides treats because he is kind and loves to see us happy. Alas, money can easily become a god to be pursued and worshiped for the power it gives.
Has God tested you with prosperity? Is your life quite comfortable? Too comfortable? Do you struggle with trusting God because you don’t have to? Because you have more money than you need, and right now you feel fine? Do you feel a need for God? I pray you always do.
