If I stop and think about my faith and what I am told I should believe because of what my eyes and mind can comprehend I get confused. This worlds standards and self sufficiency stand in stark contrast to God but everything spiritually becomes so clear when I put God first in my reasoning. When the bible teaches that God will give you peace beyond all understanding I understand now as I have traveled through life seeing my daddy sick with Alzheimer’s and yet I have such a peace with this internally all against worldly reasoning. Although I do continuously hurt emotionally I still have peace that if not understood in the light of God would make me feel guilty. As my daddy continued to drift away and my life became more my own. The decisions needing to be made that would always carry daddy’s guidance were left to me that’s when I realized I needed God to guide and direct all decisions. This may sound as if it would be intuitive but I had never realized daddy was in the place only the one true God belonged; at the head of my life. Sorry for the interruption here but oh do I miss my daddy but I know God is in control and all will be to glorify Him in daddy’s life and mine as best I can. Now back to the thoughts at hand.
Now struggling through life God has sustained me and gave peace that defies any world reasoning that exist or will exist. As I have learned to trust God with all things, even failure and sin while striving to do better and asking forgiveness I have become much more settled with myself and life. With God leading every road that I travel has a destination and when walking with God that destination is never a disappointment but always an adventure that leaves you breathless. When I stop a minute to think of a destination that seemed ill advised, one comes to mind that teaches me to be patient and trust in the road I am stirring the dust on currently. God allowed Joseph to be sold to the Egyptians not a very desirable road for sure if following man’s reasoning but oh the final destination Joseph found that leaves us breathless. This road didn’t only affect Joseph but his family, the Egyptians, and the nation of Israel as most times following God will affect those around us. As we give ourselves and our direction to God with trust in the good and bad we will always be living an adventure while everyone around us that does not know Him will be trying to reason things out. As a child of God travels through life there is no doubt that we have peace that will always surprise us as well as those around us. Because we travel our roads with an expectation of what will be the next breathtaking destination God will allow us to see or be apart of.
So to sum up “Why Faith Beyond Reason” because God is so much more than man’s reasoning and He has loved me so much more than I can express in so many miraculous ways that I still struggle to understand. As well as the road I am currently on even though painful will end at a breathtaking destination.
God Bless You All,
