Faith in God or Faith in Man - Inspirational Videos

As Christians, we must not confuse having a dependence upon man to meet our needs with having faith in God.

Faith in God is not in our confidence that the grocery store shelves will have the food we need and that our bank account will clear the debit charge for those groceries.
Faith in God is not in our confidence that the supplements we take or the prescription medications we take will keep us healthy.
Faith in God is not in our confidence that this next batch of elected officials will fix the problems in our neighborhoods.
Faith in God is not in our confidence that work and family will provide the meaning to our lives.

I hope everything in your life is going your way. But even if man's way of doing things is working quite well for you, please, please don't confuse your success with having faith in God. Because your success at running your life the world's way has absolutely nothing to do with faith in God, and I would be doing you a great disservice if I led you to believe otherwise.

In fact, the better you are at navigating your way through life playing by the rules of the kingdom of this world, the less likely you will be to even notice the kingdom of God.
Maybe you are satisfied with what you've done without God. (As a young Christian I used to even brag about what I did without any help from God.)

But if you can ever taste what you could do with God, then you will look back on your life of independence as missed opportunity.
