Hello Everyone,
As we have discussed how we experience God in our lives, we have said:God is always at work in our lives.God pursues a love relationship with us that is real and personal.God invites us to join with Him and cooperate in the work He is doing.God speaks by His Holy Spirit to reveal Himself, His purpose and His ways through His Word, prayer, circumstances, and the church.Today, I want us to understand what happens when we know God’s call. When God calls, we face a "crisis of belief." The "crisis of belief” is a turning point where I must make a decision concerning what I really believe about God.If I believe that God really does know what He is doing, that He really can do what He says He can do, that He really does know what’s best for my life, and that His cause is one worth giving my life to, then I will respond with obedience to His call.

If I really don’t believe these things, then I will not obey His call. It’s that simple. It is at this point that I discover whether or not my belief about God is a belief of conviction or convenience. A belief of convenience is one I hold to only when it is convenient, but a belief of conviction is one I hold to even when it is not.How I respond at this turning point will determine whether or not I cooperate with God in what He’s planned for me or miss out on what God has "prepared in advance for me to walk in " (Ephesians 2:10).
It is very important that when I sense God is speaking to me that I respond appropriately. In Numbers 13:26-14:9, we read about how Israel faced a “crisis of belief” and how their response to God’s call revealed their true belief about Him. Take time to read this text in Numbers today this will be where we draw our e-votion from this week.

Oh How HE Loves Us!
