How does a daisy grow?  How does a pine cone turn into a tree?  What has to happen for the sun rise every morning, set every evening, and all the while stay in the perfect position throughout the day?  These are only a few of an infinite number of  questions that man can not accurately and completely answer yet we accept these things to be so.  That being the case; why is it so difficult for some to accept that there is a Creator of the universe and that He has made a way for us to receive daily blessings and then ultimately spend eternity with Him?
In similar fashion how can many who call themselves "Believers"  in Yahweh God, the Creator of the universe claim they believe that He can keep the earth spinning, the rain falling, all the other planets spinning (with none colliding), the ocean tides rising and falling, etc., etc., etc., ;  Yet they don't believe that He is powerful enough to keep His promises and intervene in their lives in time of need.
For many these questions can be easily answered in only one word; pride.  Many people don't want to release what little control they think they have on things.  They think they are bigger, wiser, stronger than God Himself and in the words of Frank Sinatra they want to do it "My Way".  On the other hand, for the true Believer, every day should be Thanksgiving Day. We should even be thankful in the midst of problems. The Apostle Paul said, "I am exceedingly joyful in all our tribulation" . He knew that, because he loved Yahweh God, He was working all things together for His good, even though he was going through trials. Problems will come your way. Yahweh God will see to it personally that you grow as a Believer. He will allow the storms, in order to send your roots deep into the soil of His Word. We pray more in the midst of problems, but it's been well said that you will see more from your knees, than you will on your tip toes. Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."  So we may boldly say: "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?" Heb 13:5-6                                                       A man once watched a butterfly struggling to get out of its cocoon. In an effort to help it, he took a razor blade, and carefully slit the edge of the cocoon. The butterfly escaped from its problem . . . and immediately died. It is God's way to have the butterfly struggle. It is the struggle that causes its tiny heart to beat fast, and send the life's blood into its wings. Trials have their purpose. They make us struggle -- they bring us to our knees. They are the cocoon in which we often find ourselves. It is there that the life's blood of faith in God helps us spread our wings. You see faith and thanksgiving are close friends. If you truly know Yahweh God and have faith in Him, that He will keep His promises, you will be thankful because you know His loving hand is upon you, even though you are in a lion's den. That will give you a deep sense of joy, and joy is the barometer of the depth of faith you have in God. Let me give you an example. Imagine if someone said they would give you one million dollars if you sent them an email. Imagine further that you had knowledge of more than 1,000 people who had sent that person an email, and every one received their million dollars -- no strings attached. More than that; You had actually called the person, and they had assured you personally that they would keep their word. If you believed the person, wouldn't you have joy? Of course you would.  But if you didn't believe the person -- no joy. The amount of joy you have would be a barometer as to how much you believed the persons promise. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Messiah Yeshua concerning you. 1 Thess 5:18 We have so much to be thankful for. Yahweh God has given us "exceeding great and precious promises" that are "more to be desired than gold." Do yourself a big favor -- believe those promises, thank Him continually for them, and "let your joy be full."
