Saving Grace


What is my saving grace? What is the force that keeps my doubts about God from overshadowing my faith in Him? Yesterday's message in church was about John the Baptist who, like me, was a follower of Christ but had doubts sometimes. When your plans change drastically for you, it can be hard to believe that God is in control. When you're praying constantly for an answer or for help with no response in sight, it might seem like He is not listening. For the agnostics and atheists who may read this, you may doubt because of the tragedies and disasters in the world, thinking "how can there be a God when there is pain and suffering?" My saving grace is knowing that ulitmately I am nothing without God. I humble myself in His presence because the truth is, He really knows me better than I know myself. He has a plan, and He holds the future in His hands. So if He feels like taking me through the storm before I can come out shining then I'll go. I may not understand, but I don't have to because if He even tried to break it down for me I still wouldn't get it. Trust in the Lord always. What is your saving grace?
