The simple truth is fear! We are so afraid of tomorrow. This world as Jesus said is full of tribulation (problems what have you), but remember He said for us to be of good cheer meaning be happy. Well its impossible to just say you'll be happy when trouble comes and not have any way out, but that's the silly things we believe about God sometimes and it could not be further from the truth. Jesus is a Savior not a consoler. He wants to save you from all your worries. We simply can't believe it. Nevertheless its true or the Bible is a very misleading book. Well, we know its not misleading so the problem lies with us daring to believe the Bible is true. We waste our time asking each other whether or not we believe the Bible is literal or not. This should not even be up for debate. Just read the Bible and act like the people and stories in it and you'll see your own miracles daily.
