Yeah but...
"You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you."
Yeah but...
The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."
Yea but...
Fear. Dismay. Weakness. Chaos. Questions. Confusion. Feeling alone. Discouragement.
If you've walked this earthly road any amount of time, you've seen pain and evil. You're aware that things don't always work out in favor of the "good people". So does that make me less of a Christian because I'm afraid and discouraged.
Tired.
That's the bottom line. Then I remember "Do not grow weary in well doing for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not"
Yeah but...
I'm fainting and I don't want to.
Then I'm reminded of Daniel, he just kept doing what God had instructed him to do. Moses questioned and was confused and yet God in His sovereignty, usded Moses to bring glory to Himself. How human was Peter? The list goes on...
The reality is we can choose to trust God, that He IS all of what/who He says He is or... not.
Evil exist. Broken systems exist. Disease exist.
Yeah but...
God.
I choose to believe in the ONE DAY when God will reign and His righteouseness will be made known.
I choose to keep quoting truths no matter how many times my humanness brings doubt and fear in front of me.
I choose to trust His sovereignty!
"He will swallow up death forever. The Sovereigh Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove his people's disgrace from all the earth. The Lord has spoken. In that day they will say 'Surely this is our God; we trusted in Him, and He saved us. This is the Lord we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.'"
Essentially, coming to the realization that here on this earth we may never see the "why".
Yeah but...
One day, WE WILL!
And that my friends is where I will land today. Tomorrow, will hold its own worries and I will once again seek His Word for the reminders that HE alone is trustworthy!!!!!
