I've experienced a lot of doubt and questioning over the last couple of weeks.
But God...
faithful, as He always is, has wrapped me in perfect peace.
The more I focused on the doubt and questions, the more I doubted and questioned. I think questioning is good, but when it gets to the point of creating confusion, it's gone too far.
I finally decided I'd doubted and questioned enough over this particular subject that kept presenting itself. I had to trust God's Word and the interpretation of it He'd led me to understand. And through others, He confirmed that understanding.
This morning I was thinking about the peace I've had over the last couple of days. Isaiah 26:3 came to mind:
You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.
I realized when my mind is set on Him, on trusting Him, instead of being set on doubts and questions, peace prevails.
He has a bigger plan, and it is so hard while waiting for it to be revealed. I have learned that one of the most important things for me to learn is trust. And sometimes that is the hardest thing to do.
