Wrestling

I really like the idea that if we don’t wrestle with our faith, that we will never take it for a test drive.
For the past few years, I have been wrestling with my faith. It’s a faith that is real, as I have had my share of difficulties over the past 5 or so, years.
However, I as SURPRISED at how much of this same faith has been inherited and absorbed by my association with the church and the from my family.
This is surprising to me … Wow, God was trying to see if I was “road worthy” for the particular HE has for me to run.
I recently started training for 10K run, how serious??????? Well, I am still struggling, but gradually, slowly, but surely feeling stronger …
I have to wrestle with tiredness, exhaustion, hunger … I am JUST getting into shape. Yet every time I go out, I feel that much better.
Surprise … the wrestling has all been DIVINE plot to strengthen the weak, childlike, out-of-shape faith that was comfortable with.
