Trading Our "If" for God's "I Will"

Have you ever tried to make a deal with God? You probably didn't call it a negotiation, but it sounded something like this: "Lord, if You just get me out of this financial mess, I promise I'll finally start giving." Or, "God, if You heal this relationship, I'll go to church every Sunday." We often treat our faith like a contract negotiation. We want a guarantee of comfort before we give God our complete obedience. We hold our full surrender hostage, waiting for God to meet our specific terms. Today, we are going to look at how God invites us to trade our restless "if" for His restful "I will."
