Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover during the feast, many believed into His name when they saw the signs which He did. But Jesus Himself did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew all men, And because He did not need anyone to testify concerning man, for He Himself knew what was in man (John 2:23-25).
I was praying to God concerning a matter that still bothers me last night. After the prayer, the Lord has given me the sure peace. However, this morning I still could not help but think of that thing. I did not want to be troubled in my mind concerning that matter since I knew that I fully gave it to the Lord last night. Afterwards, when I read the verse, the Lord was speaking to me, "How can I entrust Myself to you if you don't believe the peace that I had given to you and simply want to see the miracle?" I was convicted and reminded of the verse in John 20:29 "Jesus said to him, Becuase you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed".
Lord, how much I need You. I know the weaknesses within me are still there, and I cannot just forget that matter because it is a big matter that has affected me. Oh Lord, but I open again. My fallen nature attempts me to bring me out of my peace in You and move, but the new creation within me wants to love Your will and fully trust in You. Dear Lord, have Your way in me. I even give up my struggles and attempts to "try" to believe in You. I simply rest in You so You can work Yourself freely in me.
