Lack of imagination

Mark 6:3 KJV
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

Don’t allow somebody’s lack of imagination limit you to their perception of you. What people say and think about you are opinions peppered with facts, not the other way round. It will be a complete fact if you accept it and agree with their judgment of you. You know yourself and what you have been through so far; why let some else define you? “A man with an experience is not at the mercy of a man with an opinion” (L.H. Hardwick).

Backwards

Matthew 26:54 KJV
But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

You may have been told a prophecy that seems to be taking its sweet time to happen such that based on your current circumstance, you wonder if it would actually happen. In human mind it does not make much sense but the current situation is what would make what God said about your Life understand when it happens. There would be no need for prophecy if life is as smooth as we would wish. “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards” (Soren Kierkegaard)
[ASeDa©]

John 4:42 KJV
[42] And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

There is a difference between those who serve God and those who know God. When you know God for yourself you do not need anyone to assure you of His existence when things are not going well in your life.

Envy is vanity

Ecclesiastes 4:4 KJV
Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

At every point in a person’s life you will meet someone better than you. No matter how rich, famous, beautiful or handsome you are, there is always someone who has more of these things than you, and life has a funny way of letting these people come your way more often than not. Instead of being envious of those people, you can learn from them how to get to that level so you can be like them or better than them. You don’t need to twist yourself into a frenzy being envious of what others have that you don’t.

Awesome God

2 Timothy 2:13 KJV
If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

We all have ideas of how God should run things eg Why does God allow earthquakes? etc. It is quite normal to have moments of doubt. It is also awesome to know that even if we have flickers of doubt every now and then, it does not change nor affect who God is. He is in control and in the end everything will work out, here and after.

Unknown Future to a Known God

Philippians 1:6 KJV
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

One limitation of being a human being is you would not know how an action you take will work out, even with the best intentions. As Christians, we can be confident about the future because not only does God know the future, He is the Future; He is the Beginning and the End after all. You do not need to worry about how the future will turn out if you do your best. The rest is up to God. “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God” (Corrie ten Boom).
