“The issue of faith is not so much whether we believe in God, but whether we believe the God we believe in.”
~ Theologian R. C. Sproul
A friend recently sent me this quote. It immediately hit me. Sort of like a sucker punch. Do you know what I mean? Like God with a megaphone.
OMG. . .In So Many Ways. . . .REALLY!
Yes, I believe in God. Oddly enough the journey through Covid, needing to connect in new ways, not finding a church home in Santa Fe; has not led me further from God, but closer. Strange isn’t it? Without the brick and mortar, my worship has turned to this natural beauty in which I find myself.
Yes, I think I have come to a place where my belief in God is pretty much unshakable. BUT do I really believe the God I believe in?
OMG. . .In So Many Ways
Why is it when some crisis comes my way I still think I’m the one who needs to solve it? This time, this issue, this problem . . . . it’s more than God can handle. REALLY? I look back at what I thought to be insurmountable situations, definitely BIGGER than God, which somehow had a resolution. Hmmmmm. . . Perhaps He stepped in? Do I believe the God I believe in?
If memory serves me correctly, yes. But many times it doesn’t. Thank goodness God has a megaphone. And a kaleidoscope, that when it is twisted and turned, I can look back and recognize how the events in my life have had a beautiful design. God knows in our humanness- We forget. We lose hope. We try to remedy, fix, solve by our own devices. And He lets us think we know best, all the while loving us through the situation. . .until we remember. . . To listen to the megaphone.
To look through the kaleidoscope. “Believe in the God we believe in”
What an amazing God we have!
OMG. . .In So Many Ways
