Like A Butterfly

So that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power. 1 Corinthians 2:5

I’ve realized that my life has been caught in men’s wisdom. Or most accurately, my wisdom.

If I can make sense of it, then I’ll believe it. If I can see how it might possibly be able to happen, I can have faith for it. But if I cannot understand it, nor find any possible way for it to happen then I probably won’t believe it can or will.

So the last few weeks I’ve been reevaluating faith. I’ve determined I want my faith to rest on God’s power, not my wisdom or imagination. I have no idea where this road will take me. I’m not sure what I’m looking for or what changes might occur. I am positive of this one thing, though, my faith can no longer be reliant on what I can do or can’t do. I must believe that my God truly is the Miracle Maker, the Great I Am, the God of the impossible.

This is simply my public declaration that I am choosing to trust in the Lord, not lean on my own understanding. I’m pressing in and I will fall into God’s power.
