Unquenchable Hope

God offers us rest, so why do we sometimes feel like we’re stuck on a “Christian hamster wheel”? And how can we know the difference between unhealthy striving that leads to burn-out and good old hard work that is pleasing to God? That’s what Luanne and Mary Ann—two “reforming strivers”—discuss in this second part of a three-part series on the subject of “striving.” 

Luanne’s newest book, “Spiritual Warfare and the Armor of God,” is available for order through her website (see below) and on amazon.com, as is Mary Ann’s book, “Live. Learn. Laugh!”

Why is it so hard for most of us to follow God’s instruction to “be still (cease striving) and know that I am God”? That’s the subject Luanne and Mary Ann—two “reforming strivers”—tackle in this first part of a three-part series on the subject of “striving.” As the ladies point out, the opposite of striving isn’t laziness, it’s rest. Wonderful, peaceful, glorious rest.

Do we really believe who God says He is and what He’s told us in His Word or do our doubts cause us to live like “practical atheists”? That’s the heart of what Mary Ann and Luanne talk about in this episode.

They nag us, torment us, sap our spiritual energy, and we all have to deal with them. So what do we do with doubts? That’s the subject Luanne and Mary Ann are tackling for the next three episodes. In this first one, the ladies talk about the how hard it can be to “walk on the water” when we put our faith in the facts we see, rather than in the TRUTH that God can do anything.

Luanne and Mary Ann continue their conversation with Maddy Riley, a missionary to Africa whose life is a picture of God’s grace, redemption, and hope. Here’s just a sample of the wisdom Maddy shares in this episode: “Self-pity got me nowhere. Being angry got me nowhere. What got me somewhere was learning who He (God) is, learning who I am in Him, and then doing what He wants me to do.” Amen, Maddy!

When the Bible tells us God is a jealous God, what pops into our noggins probably isn’t pleasant … or accurate. As Mary Ann and Luanne discuss in this episode, godly jealousy and human jealousy are NOT the same. Not at all.

If you’re feeling the “pings and pangs,” as Luanne mentioned in this episode, it may be God working in your heart and calling you to come back to Him. In this episode, Luanne and Mary Ann talk about what the Bible means when it repeatedly says God is “a jealous God” and how His jealousy is protective and an expression of His perfect love for us.
