In Others’ Words: Questioning Faith
I know this is election day in the U.S. — but this is not an election day post. I don’t do politics on this blog or any other social media. I did vote, in case you’re wondering. And I did pray about the election.
One thing I do know is, come what may today, tomorrow, the next day … God remains the same. And that truth is comforting.
There’s a funny dynamic to faith in God: My faith has changed as my understanding of God has deepened over the years — and yet God has remained the same. I’ve changed too. I’ve learned to trust God more as my faith has grown through the years. The God I first met when I was 21 years old is not the God I know today … but it’s not that He’s different. It’s that He’s revealed more of Himself to me. His faithfulness. His mercy. His grace. His stability. His truth.
Do I still have questions? How do I … and what now … and why would someone … and what should I say or do … and which way do I go questions?
But I know where to take those questions. God’s ears are open to my prayers (1 Peter 3:12) … and He always answers.
In Your Words: How does faith help you with the questions you’re asking?
