the best of both worlds
so i have been going through some things that have made me change my thinking a little bit. one thing i have been thinking through is what the difference is between unashamed faith and stubborn and unwaivering thinking is. i have come to a decision at least in my example that i am working through. it all depends on what it is in.
i have had a hard time understanding if my calling is true. many thoughts and impressions go through my head that give me doubt if i truly have been called into God's service. it is quite a painful place to be, where you doubt everything you have done your whole life, that it has been a mistake and that you have wasted time and effort when you think it is all worthless.
the good news is that i know now that it isn't true for me. God has given me a whole bunch of talents, has put me into action and given me experiences that continue to to draw me into His service. i cannot help but exclaim the awesome power and love of God to those around me. He deserves all of me and every thought and every breathe i have.
if you are in a place where you doubt your place in this world where you don't feel adequate or feel God is firmly directing you and you want His guidance, have patience and He will always prove Himself faithful. we have many examples, heroes and forefathers who have gone through the same thoughts, fights and doubts that we all have today.
even take the example of Elijah, a great man of faith who accomplished a lot in the name of the Lord, read 1 Kings 19:4, and see the doubts that ran through his mind. he felt inadequate, his ministry failing, and in all, his life worthless (this was even after the miracle of burning of the alter verse the prophets of baal). but after shaking it off, his ministry thrived and was blessed and used by God greatly. that is stubborn faith. how i desire to have that type of stubborn faith!!
may i trust in You always, Yahweh, my breathe, my life and my reason!
