Living in God-reality

God-reality is a good place to live.

It means being willing to face the truth of any situation...armed with the understanding that God's truth supersedes our situations. That's the challenge for Christians sometimes, isn't it? Finding balance between faith and fact. How do you deal with the imperfect and disappointing, while at the same time maintaining your belief that God has your best interest at heart? And what do you say during this time--to yourself and others?

I've seen and heard many people who struggle with this issue! We usually end up saying something goofy or hyper spiritual. I think God just wants us to be honest. Charles Capps says that we get the verse in Romans backwards--we call those things that are as though they aren't; when God told us to call those things that aren't as though they are. BIG difference! (See Rom 4:17)

Believing God's Word is not denying reality...it is accepting the God-reality of the situation. That is I don't understand what is happening right now...or why...but I know that God has it in hand and that His truth will super cede circumstances and my faith will override what appears to be fact. That is the essence of living in God-reality. Try it today!
