It means "Strength"

Calling God a Liar
2003-11-02 | 11:10 a.m.

my aunt sent me this:

God has revealed Himself and provided a way to know Him through His Son;

"Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father... Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in Me?" (John 14:9-10). As we grow

in our faith and begin to know Him better, it becomes essential to

know - and BELIEVE! - the promises of His Word. We may say we believe

God's Word is true, but do we really act like we believe?

1 John 5:10

"Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this testimony in his

heart.

Anyone who does not believe God has made Him out to be a liar, because

he has not believed the testimony God has given about His Son."

Yes, our old nature sometimes clouds our ability to clearly see the

truth; and yes, some of God's truths can be hard to accept and

actually

put into practice. But, we either believe His words and begin to take

steps to apply them in our life, or we do not believe and call God a

liar by the way we live.

It may be difficult, but we must confront our beliefs and begin to

make them real. When we face a trial and don't know which direction to

turn,do we believe; "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on

your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will

make your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:5-6)? Do we really believe that

as we trust Him, He will remove the confusion and guide our steps?

When our circumstances seem out of control, do we believe "in all

things God works for the good of those who love Him" (Romans 8:28)? Do we

really believe that as we continue to love Him, God works for the good

in All things (regardless of our understanding)? And when we feel

alone, do we really believe God's promise to always be near; "Never

will I leave you; never will I forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5).

How about the promises of being content (Philippians 4:12), or being

given the peace of Jesus (John 14:27), or the fruit of the Spirit

(Galatians 5:22-23) - can we really "do everything through Him who

gives me strength" (Philippians 4:13)? Parents, have we given up hope for

our children or do we believe, "Train a child in the way he should go, and

>when he is old he will not turn from it" (Proverbs 22:6)?

God does not lie! His Word is true and His promises are real!! Let's

praise Him all the rest of our days and let our lives demonstrate we

REALLY know and believe. Let's make sure our actions and decisions,

fears and anxieties, hopes and dreams, are governed by truth and NOT

based on calling God a liar.
