Tangled Faith

When our faith gets tangled up with rules and circumstances in and out of our control, it can change its potential for the worst. How can we untangle obstacles to our faith?

Seven tangles of David’s faith and how he overcame them:

1. Overlooked - untangled with consistency 

2. Underestimated - untangled with confidence in God

3. Unmet expectations - untangled with focus on his assignments and doing them well

4. Opinions of others - untangled with focus on his faithfulness and his relationship with God

5. Isolation and delay - untangled with trust in God‘s perfect timing

6. Comfort in sin - untangled with repentance and change

7. Grief and disappointment - untangled with worship 

The 23rd Psalm was written by David after he had experienced all of these tangles. The same God that helped David with his tangles is ready to help us with ours. Keep the faith, and do not give up; keep doing the next right thing.
