Embracing the Power of Faith
As I navigate the twists and turns of my spiritual journey, I’m often left with more questions than answers. Uncertainty can be overwhelming, leaving me wondering how to make sense of the chaos and find a way to restore order. Yet, in the midst of uncertainty, I’ve discovered a profound truth: I have the power to choose.
The Choice That Brings Peace
I can choose to trust in the sovereignty of God, our Holy and Almighty Creator. This decision brings me an unexplainable sense of peace, even when circumstances seem dire. It’s not a cliché; it’s a lifeline. It’s hope. It’s faith in action.
The Alternative to Faith
If I don’t make this choice, I’m left with a daunting array of options: attempting to control the uncontrollable, worrying, becoming anxious, angry, or fearful. The list goes on, and it’s a path that leads to emotional exhaustion.
The Lists That Reveal
Imagine creating two lists: one for things I understand, can control, and can fix, and another for things that are beyond my comprehension, control, and repair. Which list would be longer? The latter, undoubtedly. This exercise reveals the futility of trying to micromanage my life.
The Third List: A Testament to God’s Faithfulness
So, why do I choose to trust in God? The answer lies in my personal history with Him. He has saved me, loved me, and poured grace and mercy into my life daily. His countless interventions in my life have taught me Who He is and that I can trust Him implicitly. He has strengthened my faith over the years, calling me to trust Him even when faced with unanswered questions and uncontrollable situations.
A Lifelong Journey of Trust
As I continue on this journey of faith, I’m reminded that trusting God is not a one-time decision, but a continuous choice. With every new challenge, I’m invited to reaffirm my trust in Him. And it’s in these moments that I’m grateful for the peace that surpasses understanding, the peace that comes from knowing that my life is in His capable hands.
