Faith! What is it? How do we obtain it when we seem to be engulfed in a whirlpool of disaster? Noted: the unfamiliar brings the unexpected. It can pull us down, wear us out, and ultimately try to strip us of what is familiar. When the broken state of you stares back at you in the mirror and inadvertently manifests into someone you hardly recognize, you unexpectedly react in an unfamiliar way. That is when you have a choice. You can hide from the distorted vision of yourself, or you can look it in the eye and fix it.
Your eyes never hide what is in your heart. They radiate the light inside of us. When the light has dwindled, the spark still faintly remains. Though you may not see it, there is still hope inside of you. This is because you have faith that God is with you. He might test us in ways that we do not understand. However; in those hard times he never strays. When we ignore his call, he keeps calling. The resonance of the bell can be muffled, but it will not be silenced until we pick up the phone.
In these unfamiliar times of trials and tribulations which, can be unexpected, we fall from grace. We forget we can fly. We sit by the ringing phone and hide from God's call because we have scummed to the fall. The light inside is now a mere flash of the luminance it used to be.
When this occurs hope is still there, but faith seems to separate. However, if we acknowledge the ring tone is present than we know the phone exists; we know God exists. It's so easy to pick up the receiver and say,"hello." To invite the familiar back inside. As we answer the phone, the lights turn on. We suddenly remember that life will bring its battles but, it is the LORD our God who helps us to defeat them. If we have faith that God is working with us and through us, we can accomplish anything. After the phone call, God throws us faith as our life jacket and in the whirlpool of disaster, we begin to float. We recall that, "when times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, a man cannot discover anything about his future"(Ecclesiastes 7:14). The future is unfamiliar. We cannot expect perfection. In good and bad times, we have to remember to listen. With the bad, we have to remind ourselves not turn away that good is around the corner if we only answer God's phone call.
According to Paul David Tripp, "God is using the difficulties of the here and now to transform you, that is, to rescue you from YOU. And because He loves you, He will willingly interrupt or compromise your momentary happiness in order to accomplish one more step in the process of rescue and transformation, which He is unshakably committed to." God is persistent. And in his determination he takes us out of our comfort zones into an unfamiliar place. Scared and feeling alone, we do not know what to expect. But, as we take God's hand, we have faith in the comfort that the familiar is accompanying us. God is redirecting our life's on a path unknown. And, with his comfort we remember to fly. Through this process our grace is restored. Our light becomes brighter and our faith becomes stronger. Do not let bad situations define who you are. Answer the phone, grab the life jacket, and have faith that God is using you to be the example. He is working with you. And he will never leave you!
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9
