Taking God at His Word

“The happiest of all Christians are those who never dare to doubt God, but take His Word simply as it stands.” — Charles Spurgeon

“So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11 NKJV

Because we currently live in a critically challenging time, there must be a reason why people do not take God at His Word. Do we even take God seriously? Provided that this is true, how might we be aware? What is the significance here in taking God in such a grave manner? How can we say whether or not people are earnest about their confidence and faith in God?

Individuals who are serious about their faith do not mistake it for different convictions or loyalties, or blend them together aimlessly with the secular world’s belief system. Individuals who are serious about their faith do not agree to, empower, or allow any infringement of its norms by its declared believers. Individuals who are serious about their faith do not stay quiet about it, apologize for it, or allow it to be treated as if it had little or no effect in their conduct or in their associations with others. Individuals who are serious about their faith study the Scriptures, have a positive prayer life, and look for ways to lead others to Christ. Individuals who are serious about their faith continually seek the Lord’s guidance in all aspects of their life.

I believe that the actual question that we should ask ourselves is this: “How do we go about taking God seriously?” Taking God seriously starts first by us having a “fear of the Lord.”
