Struggle

“I want you to continue to struggle…that’s the enigma….We are better if we struggle. The people I fear the most are those who don’t struggle…who think they have all of the answers.” ~ Dr. Rollston

Every once in a while, Dr. Rollston goes on a tangent about how different issues brought up in class should stretch our faith, and that struggling with these issues is a good thing. While he usually says the same thing during each speech, I appreciate his honesty and input regarding these things. It’s becoming clear to me that struggling and wrestling with issues of faith is one of the ways that God refines us and strengthens us.

If God were small enough to fit within the confines of my tiny brain, then he’s not much of a God now, is He? If that’s the case, then He doesn’t deserve to be worshiped.

Fortunately, God is so vast and so huge that there is no way I could begin to comprehend His omnipresence! Because of that, there will be issues in everyday life, as well as in Scripture, that I will not be able to completely understand. At some point, I have to be willing to say, “I don’t understand this – God isn’t making sense. And that’s…OK. God doesn’t have to make sense for Him to still be God.”
