When Common Sense Doesn't Seem so Common Sense Anymore....
So what happens when statistics are staring straight in your face, piercing your heart as if you've been stabbed, inducing tear fluids as if onions were residing right in your eyes,....do you get overwhelmed? broken? teared up? depressed? discouraged? ready to give up? It's so easy isn't it? It's so easy to give up hope when it appears that the most "common sense" thing to do IS to give up and walk away.
Trust me, I know. Sometimes when GIANTS are facing us, they tend to block heaven's bright light producing a disturbance in your eye sight. All of a sudden, your view of God diminishes as the giant gets bigger. Then you begin to question, which makes more sense?: paying attention to statistics OR paying attention to God? You begin to dismiss the idea that even if there were a 1% chance of hope, God could make you or your situation an exception. You begin to wonder, whether or not you're worth it enough to be part of that 1%, wondering whether or not you can do anything to be part of that 1%....as your faith struggles, and your doubts soar like eagles. Then all of a sudden, your world seems upside down, and confusion takes over.
So what do you do then?
Maybe the answer is to let go of Self, and get on your knees, knowing that God is STILL holy, and He is STILL on the throne. Don't be afraid to ask for signs because when "common sense" makes so much sense, it's hard to argue, but if you allow God to help you distinguish "Godly Sense" from "Common Sense", your world will reverse itself slowly but surely.., flipping the giant upside down, and providing you the full view of God's light shining down.
So today do one thing: LET IT GO and feel His peace. He's on the throne, STILL! :)
"Be still. And KNOW that I am God".
