Below is God's for me and now I see things in a clearer view...
There are times in your spiritual life when there is confusion, and the way out of it is not simply to say that you should not be confused. It is not a matter of right and wrong, but a matter of God taking you through a way that you temporarily do not understand. And it is only by going through a spiritual confusion that you will come to the understanding of what God wants for you.
The Shrouding of His Friendship (Luke 11:5-8). Jesus gave the illustration here of a man who appears not to care for his friend. He was saying, in effect, that is how the heavenly Father will appear to you at times. You will think that He is an unkind friend, but remember-He is not. The time will come when everything will be explained. There seems to be a cloud on the friendship of the heart, and often even love itself has to wait in pain and tears for the blessings of fuller fellowship and oneness. When God appears to be completely shrouded, will you hang on with confidence in Him?
The Shadow on His Fatherhood (Luke 11:11-13). Jesus said that there are times when your Father will appear as if He was an unnatural father-as if He was callous and indifferent-but remember, He is not. "Everyone who asks receives..." (Luke 11:10). If all you see is a shadow on the face of the Father right now, hang on to the fact that He will fully justify Himself in everything that He has allowed into your life.
The Strangeness of His Faithfulness (Luke 18:1-8). "When the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on earth?" (Luke 18:8). Will He find the kind of faith that counts on Him in spite of the confusion? Stand firm in faith, believing that what Jesus said is true, although in the meantime you do not understand what God is doing.
Now I know that it's not a matter of how much you understand but a matter of how much you trust in God despite all odds!

In my Christian walk, there are some instances in which I felt like hanging or stagnant.
Whenever I came to this point, I was always reminded of Psalms 27:11, "Teach me Your way, O Lord, and lead me in a smooth path."
We have to take Someone who knows the way. That's Jesus...
para di maligaw... hehe
exactly! God knows the way..so we need to follow.
Medyo walang kinalaman sa iyong post, pero kasi mahaba ang aking tugon sa iyong tugon sa aking post (gets?):
"Amen! Share ko lang, I've read in the book Under Cover by John Bevere na hindi tinatablan ng curses or witchcraft spells ang mga Christians. We are feared by witches and sorcerers kasi we are invulnerable to their dark magic! Coolness talaga ni Lord, 'no? :)
And yeah, pray, pray, pray!"
"When the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on earth?" (Luke 18:8). Will He find the kind of faith that counts on Him in spite of the confusion?
Oh. What heavy message. That's a challenge for every Christian, that despite spiritual confusion we shall still trust Him completely.
gets ko myk! hehe...
Very challenging nga talaga...and a good reminder too that God is expecting us to trust Him up to the end.
