#faith

My heart today in words:

If I’m completely honest, always trusting God isn’t easy. It’s necessary. It’s worth it. But it is not easy.

It cuts against everything human. Our flesh warns, “Don’t be so gullible.”
While our redeemed heart — full of Christ’s mercy — answers back, “You are Mine.”

Our minds spin. Doubt slips in with the ancient whisper from Genesis 3:1:
“Did God really say…?”

And suddenly the garden feels close. Too close.

The enemy didn’t start with open rebellion. He started with subtle suspicion.

But there is another voice. Steady. Certain. From John 10:27:
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”

Two voices.
One plants doubt.
One calls us by name.

Faith is not a magic bullet. It does not remove fear. It does not silence the questions.

Faith decides who gets the final word.

It is the core ingredient to obedience.
To endurance.
To remaining when everything in us wants to retreat.

Trusting God will always feel risky to the flesh.
But unbelief has never been safe.

So when the whisper comes — Did God really say? —
I will answer with action.

I will follow.

Even trembling.
