We’ve all been there. Can I get a witness???

You don’t even have to know what the struggle is….just know we have all had them and we’ve all questioned them!!

Hillary Scott’s song “Thy Will” has a verse that says, “I know I heard You loud and clear”. God speaks like that sometimes….loud and clear!

But what about when you KNOW that you KNOW that you KNOW that you heard Him right and still struggle???

I’m there ya’ll. The struggle is real. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I heard Him loud and clear but still doubting the decisions made. UGH!! Why??

Thankfully, I have a God that speaks to me. A God that reassures me and lets me know He hears my struggles and is answering.

Jeremiah 13: 1-7. My morning reading led me to this passage in the middle of my struggling. God spoke to Jeremiah, loud and clear. Jeremiah followed through. It didn’t make sense to him, he didn’t understand it, but he obeyed what God told him to do and in the end the reason became clear.

Does that mean the reason will always become clear that quickly to us? No. Do we still follow through and do as God has commanded us to do? Absolutely!!

But, even after that passage, I was still having trouble. I was still struggling and my depression and doubting wanted to kick in.

Amazingly, (not really though, because let’s admit it, that’s who my God is!!) He let me to another passage.

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places..” Ephesians 6:12

It hit me! I had heard God right. I had made the right decisions. But satan was using my doubts against me! He was attacking me and I didn’t even realize it. That’s how sneaky that little devil can be ya’ll! 😡😡

I had to remember the next verse, “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”

I had been slack. I had wallowed in my self-pity and self-doubt and forgot that satan was out to get me. I had let him win…but only for a second! I had to remember whose daughter I was and use the whole armor my Father gave me to fight!

Can I tell you that my struggle is gone and that I understand why God led me where He led me? No, I sometimes still feel that tug. But will I follow through and be the best at whatever He has called me to do in this season? Absolutely!

We just always have to remember that His ways are not our ways. I promise you though, His ways are always better!
