Recently, our fellowship has been doing a series on "Difficult Questions".  While preparing these studies, I've found myself looking, even more than I usually do, at the world and God relating to it.  Prayer, Suffering, the Unsaved (our 3 topics so far).  I've had to switch time and time again from looking at this world on a macro level (suffering on a grand scale), micro level (individuals who're in deep pain), and of course, VERY micro --> desperately trying to balance my school work, family, and relationship.

God demands "my soul, my life, my all".  Even though God is with us all the way, I indeed find myself often in the "Valley of the Shadow of Death".  I think my life is a very good one, but I know that I still walk on an edge - as in if certain things slipped, it could get real bad, real quickly.

It is at points of such tension that I scream out in both pain...and joy.

For all those non-believers out there - you're right that if there is no God, "what a mess!"  But IF there is a God - what an enormous God we have.  One who encompasses all our highs & lows.  One who, despite such chaos out there, is sovereign over this world.

God - please hold me tight as I run this race.
