When we disobey God, I wonder if we are saying He is a liar. We are saying He doesn’t have what it takes to give us strength to resist. He doesn’t have what it takes to fulfill us, we must reach for it elsewhere. We are failing to believe He has our best interests at heart and loves us and knows what is best for us. Wow. I never thought about it that way before.
