Good morning! How are we faithing this fine day? As we learn and grow in the Lord we find ourselves looking deeper into issues and trying to see root causes rather than superficial actions and reactions. As we read the Word we question things not with doubt so much but seeking understanding. It is natural to say, "what?" when we hear of new precepts that fly against earthly conventions. In the world we will doubt and be right but when it comes to the Word of God, not so much. I heard a statement that a person believes in the salvation of Jesus but can't believe the virgin birth. How ridiculous that line of thinking is. The Bible tells us of the virgin birth way back in Isaiah 7 and then after it happened the  gospels tell of it. This is one of those things that people don't believe because they can't understand how it could happen. I don't understand how protons and neutrons circling a nucleus can form my body but, well, here they are. Point is that if we can be saved, if Jesus died for us, if the miracles happened, why would we doubt anything just because we can't grasp the mechanics of it? Some issues have to be taken on faith because we see God work around us and know he isn't a liar. I want to impress upon all of you today that God is the same today and yesterday and he is with you regardless of the circumstances or the outcome. Keeping a good attitude even within events that are life altering is just and proper. Our joy is within and not without. Our joy is in the confidence we have in our savior . We get sad, we get distraught, we endure pain and suffering but our joy remains because Jesus is in us and with us through everything. There will be things we as humans will doubt but we need to not be foolish to deny because we can't, like said earlier, figure out the mechanics of it all.

Ecc_11:5  As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.

Joh 3:8  The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. 

Isa 55:9  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 

Heavenly Father,

 Forgive us when we doubt. Help us accept the things that confuse us in our minds. Help us accept regardless of how you do them. Lord, help us love as you love and be your servants. Help us realize our own limitations and not be haughty. We life the lost to you, in Jesus name, amen
