I see it...I don't see it as being smug at all. I see it as taking God at His word and believing it to be true. I see it as faith and just trusting Him.<br /><br />During the times when we aren't struggling and we "get it," we remind ourselves of His truths and His promises to us, and that's o.k. We need to hear it!<br /><br />We're still going to have times when we know what we know in our heads, and we know it and believe it in our hearts, but then our emotions try to rise above our faith and we can have a hard time sometimes.<br /><br />I guess we're just going to live out of our emotions sometimes, instead of our faith. Doesn't mean we're not believing, just means we're struggling with the emotion thing and the enemy can be attacking.<br /><br />We have to feel those feelings, we are human. But this is how God grows our faith and builds it as a sure foundation for our feet.momsthewordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519343990735608713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493411878929853236.post-45872052773871772632009-09-14T12:31:53.855-04:002009-09-14T12:31:53.855-04:00I learned not too long ago that what you know and ...I learned not too long ago that what you know and what you believe can be two different things.

You certainly didn't sound smug to me...Hi Jill,<br />You certainly didn't sound smug to me. I think it's in these situations that our faith grows the most. Sometimes it's all we can do to know in our heads that God will work out the situation for his glory. That's the faith part, just believing. Then later, perhaps, we feel the emotions of security and peace that he truly will work it out according to his plan. But I don't think our heads and hearts are always on the same page right away.<br /><br />Praying for you today!Jody Hedlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424307540530719614noreply@blogger.com
