Do we trust God in the tough times?

Greetings:
When God tells us or directs us to do something, do we do it willfully or do we try to reason it all out?
Many of us are always trying to analyze things in our own mind rather than just taking a step of faith and believing. It is hard to take direction from God on some days and with some things without our own human conditions attached to it
Sometimes our lack of faith turns into doubt and robs us of a real blessing.
In Philippines 7:14 there is some very specific instruction about questioning and doubt that essentially says, “Don't do it.”
The passage reads in the Amplified version: “Do all things without grumbling and faultfinding and complaining (against God) and questioning and doubting (amongst yourselves).”
We are talking about first knowing God's voice and knowing when he speaks to us in a gentle small voice or through his Word or through other people.
That's not an easy task, but hearing God's Word comes through personal prayer, knowing what God says in The Bible and plenty of patience.
We have to really watch when our feelings get off track to keep them from controling and running our life. I have done that and I can tell you it does not work.
In other words, when God speaks to us, we need step back and put what we feel away, put what we think away and put the 'whys' away and do it.
The key is hearing and knowing it's God's direction that we are listening too and putting our own human nature aside. Just let God direct our steps.
You know it's God direction if you have peace in your heart, even when your carnal mind might be telling you something different. It's all about trust in God.
Be blessed.
