Wrestle

Questions.... answers, choices.... decisions, unbelief.... faith.

In every chapter of our lives we wrestle. We wrestle with thoughts, our emotions, different ideas and concepts of what we had believed we had always known the answer to. With every page to my life story there is this new mistrust, or questioning, or even doubt that we all have of God. Somewhere in our story we were misguided by the darkness of who God really was. Like Eve, we ponder on the things that God once told us, and because it never was played out in front of us as true we wonder if it ever really was.
Our hearts deceive us, but God speaks to the soul. The Word is saturated with truth, it is the book filled with the answers. The struggle is never with our own insecurities but with our failure to believe that God simply is what He alway has been. "I am the way, the truth and the life..." He said, and at some point in my life I will struggle with, if not one, every one of those concepts. Lies will always be fed to us, confusion will throw us for a loop, and doubt will play on the repeat. Your foundation will be knowing God. No matter your doubt or question God is still what He always was... Good. How well do you believe that? He is the shepherd that gives His life for His sheep.

In the midst of chaos, God is good. In the midst of not knowing, God is good. In the midst of fear, God is good. When all that is over, God was always good.
