When Faith sits on a knife edge

Some days seem like that. The cold reality of the everyday seems like a mess of contradictions to the hope and the promise of the Spirit.

Today has been one of those. Where every step taken is either a step of faith or a step without God. 

Walking with him, a Statement  of Faith for church grew and blossomed.

Stepping out without him, confusion, cowardice and defeat reigned.

I didn't create the elements of space apart from God, and yet the refrain "Against you and you alone have I sinned and done what was evil in your sight." kept repeating itself.

I can think of a few possibilities, but maybe the refrain is the failure to hold fast to faith in the face of the worlds definitions.  To not simply take the easy way out. With God all things are possible. With God we have the option of seeing him do for more than we can ever imagine in his relentless pursuit of extending his kingdom.  CS Lewis would claim that "He is not a tame Lion but he is Good." in his description of Aslan, his allegory for God in Narnia. 

When all the world has to offer is doubt I choose faith, even in the face of faithlessness.  Forgive my doubt Lord and grow my faith.  Even if it is only in the smallest of things I choose to look for your fingerprints in tomorrow.

And thank you for the oppourtunity to reground in you regardless of the outcome of tomorrow.
