God Thoughts part 2
Wasn't it just a week ago that I wrote that last entry in the midst of brokenness and confusion, seeking God in the midst of all the pains and sufferings of my life, crying out with these questions....
"God why are you hurting me so much?? Do you love me at all? Why have you taken everything I could ever want and made it impossible to acquire? ( Read more... )
It seems to me that more often it is the difficulties overcome through God's grace, than his ordinary blessings which inform us --how great our God really is. The gospels record many miracles, God is so big that he even raised the dead. Raising the dead-- that's just really big. You see that happen, and all the Satanic facades fall away. All that is left is a simple choice over whom to follow.
You talked about your faith at it's breaking point. I think that's part of why God allows us such terrible trials. Faith is so important, and perhaps God would have us know that when all seems lost, when our difficulties seem insurmountable, enemies, disease, hunger, sin, and death, that he is yet much, much bigger. Not so much the knowledge, but more the experience of God seems transformational, and critical to faith.
In short (too late) if you ask to experience God, I expect you may easily discern which is Satan's reply --his will be the casual one. Be therefore encouraged, if Satan is attacking your faith, it is no small issue to our Father.
