It is easy to practice the ideologies of rhyme and reason (humanism) as we drag our feet through the obstacles of life, or if we are running the summit race of personal achievements or accolades.
Being human is easy, it really doesn’t take much to do what everyone else is doing (rat race), or simply going with the flow. But, I remind you that you are more than just a jar of clay molded into society. You are rather a spirit being who has been designed in the image and likeness of God with an eternal purpose and destiny.
Everything in this journey of faith does not require that it makes sense in order to believe. Faith is not the substance of things reasoned, but rather the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not YET seen.
Don’t abort or shipwreck your faith in God because you don’t understand. Simply believe in the integrity of God’s Word (Jesus) and trust in his perfect integrity.
Keep treading!
Hebrew 11:1-6
1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for. 3 By faith, we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
4 By faith, Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith, he was commended as righteous, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead. 5 By faith Enoch was taken from this life so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.” For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. 6 And without faith, it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Like pouring a bottle of lukewarm water into the vast ocean, or emptying the jars of bitter wine into a vineyard we must learn to empty ourselves of anything that may impede our growth and maturity in Christ.
Let’s recognize in ourselves attitudes and behaviors which are self-centered and which stifle the hand of God in the midst of our circumstances. You and I can not have it our way, and God’s way. Let go, and let God!
Matthew 16:24-27
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.
26 What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 27 For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.
