Lamp

In times like these, it’s hard to know the right path. The future seems uncertain. Every news story is doom and gloom. Faith comes hard. Reality hits harder. Fear is everywhere. Doubt is easy. Unbelief seems like the normal. God never said it would be easy. God never said you would always be sure. God never said you wouldn’t have your skepticism. God never said you would always have the answers. He did say that his word would be a lamp. You only need a lamp when it’s dark. So, know that you have light during these dark times. You still can trust the word of God to be a lamp.

Psalm 119:105  (KJV) Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Process

We all process things in our own time and our own way. There are no right or wrong answers. We are hard-wired to feel a certain way about certain things. There are outside factors that affect all areas of our psyche. How were you raised? What is your belief system? Where are you from? What is your social-economic status? All of these factor into how you process information. These things determine not only how you work, but why you work the way you do. When you take the time to do some introspection, you will be amazed at the results. Respect the process.
