How God works things out in life is, and always will be a mystery to me. A line from the movie "Batman Begins" has always stood out to me, and just recently I've realized the truth behind it.
"You always fear, what you don't understand."
Fear I think is one, if not THE biggest paralyzer in the life of human beings. It's so true, we always fear what we don't understand. If we don't know what the next day is going to hold, we start to get anxious. If we don't have some kind of "projection" of what out next week will hold on our planners and smart phones, we can hardly function. When people ask us "what are you doing next week", it's like we're afraid to answer....I don't know. We are afraid of the unknown.
This has really been something that's I've struggled with as God has began to work things out in my life. As I've emptied my schedule and He has began to fill it up, more often then not, it's been on an as I go basis. Hard to accept? Yes. It has completely brought to the surface just how much I don't trust God, in return shown me how distorted my view of God is. We say that God is all powerful, completely loving to His children and the provider for your needs. We say our "God greater, out God is stronger, God you are higher then any other!" But when it comes right down to it, when we're in the fiery trial, we see that we don't truly believe like we tell everyone we do. Someone cannot follow God and have a small unbelieving view of God and His power. They have to see God as He is. HUGE, completely powerful, completely loving to His children, and a keeper of His promises. God has been walking me through this all summer this year, crushing false ideas and views of Himself and instilling in my mind will and emotions the truth about Himself. Instilling in me the ability to trust Him with the things in life that I don't understand.
Growing to understand His love,
Mike
