waves

But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.

- James 1:6 (NKJV)

 

How do you still believe there is a God with all the crazy that is going on in the world?

I have been asked that more often than I can even count, and my answer remains the same.

How can I not believe in Him?
Back in 2004 the band Casting Crowns released “Who Am I”, I want you to take a quick look at some of the lyrics:
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth would care to know my name?

Would care to feel my hurt?

Who am I, that the bright and morning star would choose to light the way

For my ever wandering heart?

Not because of who I am

But because of what you've done

Not because of what I've done

But because of who you are

I am a flower quickly fading

Here today and gone tomorrow

A wave tossed in the ocean (ocean)

A vapor in the wind

Still you hear me when I'm calling

Lord, you catch me when I'm falling

And you've told me who I am

I am yours, I am yours

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin would look on me with love

And watch me rise again

Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea would call out through the rain

And calm the storm in me?

Not because of who I am

But because of what you've done

Not because of what I've done

But because of who you are

I am a flower quickly fading

Here today and gone tomorrow

A wave tossed in the ocean (ocean)

A vapor in the wind

Still you hear me when I'm calling

Lord, you catch me when I'm falling

And you've told me who I am (I am)

I am yours

It isn’t God that is causing turmoil and unrest in our society, folks, it is society!

We are tossed around like crazy, being blown in every direction possible.

We are taught that if we aren’t rich or famous we are nothing.
We teach our children that they have to be superstars on a sports team or get perfect grades.
Society is teaching us to hate and be angry and that we all deserve to have whatever we want no matter the cost.

And when that doesn’t happen for us, well, we must be nothing.
We doubt our very reason to exist. 
My God created us. 

You, me, the guy down the street, we are His.
He hears us, cares for us, loves us. 
When we doubt Him, we are the wave tossed in the ocean, when we call on Him, He catches us.
He has caught me more than I have ever deserved. 
Now, ask me again how I can still believe.
