Today I have an appointment with a gastroenterologist. My liver enzymes have been higher than they should, and my doctor thought it would be best to see a specialist. I don't have any other symptoms, and I'm in relatively good health, so they don't really know what's going on. Hopefully it's nothing.
It has got me thinking though. Right now I'm at a time in my life where I really, genuinely cherish what I have. In fact, a few weeks ago I wrote a post wishing that I could just freeze everything where it was. But that's not really living. Real living is moving constantly into the unknown. Isn't that the basis of faith? Knowing that, while I don't know what's ahead, God does? Do I have the faith enough to see beyond the fears and uncomfortable places that I find myself in, to trust that God is moving history forward, with me in it, for the good of those that love him?
Is that why we fear change? Are we afraid to admit that, it's not really the unknown that we fear, but God? Could it be that, somewhere deep within, we don't really think God can (will?) deliver us? How would life be different if we ran headlong into the unknown, fearless?
I can't say that I know the answers to these questions. So I guess I'm back to where I started.

The unkown is the ONLY way, the ONLY way, our faith is forced to grow. At least that's what I think! :)
ReplyDeleteI know you are not worried but I am covering you in prayer today my friend.
You are a blessing to me!
Do I really trust God or do I just fear the unknown? Tough question. I guess talk is cheap. Thanks for your faithfulness to his calling.
