Let’s be real. I too forget who God is, I too forget his character and his word and who he says he is and what he says he will do. I too forget that this isn’t easy and I too get frustrated when things don’t go how I thought they were supposed to go.
I too worry, doubt, cry and throw my fist to the sky saying “why”. And I too lose composure and allow what I see dictate how things will go, lacking faith in what I cannot see.
Blame God? Makes sense right? Life sucks blame God. Life sucks blame someone else. This is pattern since Adam.
But he didn’t lie, he never said any part of faith or life or this walk would be easy. Life is hard. He explicitly said it will not, for it is written “In this life .” He said again “ have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
This path is long and windy with sharp lefts and rights, unexpected walls and scares and illusions of another exist. In it is pain, prosecution, turmoil, depression, despair, anger, fear, doubt, anxiety and just down right suffering
He didn’t lie about what you’d go through. He did not leave you without power “I have given them Your word” The word and the helper has been given to us so that we can endure suffering and dying to self. I am not advocating for depression or poverty. The things of life cannot harm us for by the word they must work for our good.
The blessings in the path is that he walked it and reached the real exit and he will and wants to walk it with you.
