where's your faith now? [164]

the stress of adult life often reveals the lack of authentic faith in our lives and often times, we don't recognize it.
it's a sobering moment when we realize our child-like faith and peace has disappeared.
it isn't until we have come face to face with uncertainty that our faith can be truly tested. recognizing a crisis in our faith is not always difficult. we are always wrestling with out faith to a certain extent and that's quite alright. it's alright to be concerned about situations in our lives. we're human.
it's when we're crippled by the lack of faith that prohibits us from living our lives. that's when we know we have a serious problem.
if faith is belief in what we cannot see then the opposite of that is fear. fear is the absence of faith. a resistance to things we can't control or see. it's important to assess on what's going on in our hearts and our heads.
refusing to question is essentially saying God Himself is too weak and His spirit incapable of bringing us full circle with our doubts and back into powerful faith living.

romans 9:20
But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? "Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, 'Why did you make me like this?'"
