Because of His glory
and excellence, He has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to
share His divine nature and escape the world's corruption caused by human
desires. In view of all of this, make
every effort to respond to God's promises.
2 Peter 1:4-5
If I had to be perfectly honest about the season I am currently in, I
would say that I am certainly one blessed man, but at the same time I am also in
a new and uncharted territory that sometimes leaves me doubting myself.
At home, we are blessed by all means, but
managing our busy schedules and making time to spend with family and friends remains a never-ending challenge.
At work,
I am blessed with my career track and many new opportunities, but things are still difficult with the
economy slowly starting to turn around and the uncertainty that many employers
are facing as it pertains to health care reform. (Then again, most people do not understand health
care reform, so I take solace in knowing I am not the only person who has more
questions than answers.)
Doubt is okay, and it doesn't necessarily mean that we have
less faith, it just means our faith is being challenged in new ways. When we find ourselves in uncharted
territory, we must allow our doubt to move us closer to God instead of further
away from Him.
God gives us all many promises and the last time I checked,
He has never broken a single one. We
must learn to trust Him instead of doubting Him.
When we trust, we fall deeper in love with Him and our faith
grows even stronger.
