"This is what the Lord says, 'What fault did your father's find in me, that they strayed so far from me? They followed worthless idols and became worthless themselves.'" Jeremiah 2:5
If you were to ask me if God has any faults, I would most definitely say no. David proclaims. "As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless." (2 Sam. 22:31)
Yet when I think about my daily walk, I obviously find fault in God. This manifests itself in the worry that my mind meddles in, the discouragement that I wallow in, the discontentment I feed, and the frustration that controls my feelings and responses.
I must find fault in God's trustworthiness if I worry, that His is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine when I'm discouraged, His goodness, care and supply when I am discontent, and His sovereignty when I'm frustrated.
Oh God, these manifestations are worthless and I become worthless myself. Forgive my faultfinding. Restore to me the joy of my salvation; the child like faith.
