Unbelief: Solutions?

Exodus. 32:
Aaron was in a bind. He had about 600,000 Jewish men breathing down is back because Moses had been “gone” for 39 days, up the mountain to receive the ten commandments. Unbelief was rising – faith was waning. Perhaps Aaron wondered; what could the Jews see with their eyes that would substitute for the earthly leadership of God in the form of Moses. Because of the sin nature, believers tend grow their faith in things they see. Unfortunately, Aaron formed a gold calf to solve unbelief.

Here is the application of scripture into our lives. What do we do in our churches or in our lives that help us solve unbelief? Do buildings help us with confidence to believe enough to witness; telling people about Christ? Do church classes give us the confidence to teach our children about the ways of God?
Faith increases when we obey God based on investing time in His Word, His presence, and in His love-oriented commands.

Ask God what "things" solve your unbelief rather than Him.
