So much has changed, people. As an academic person I default to looking for complexity. I was walking down Oxford Street after work, beginning to feel intimidated that I've had no time to settle into my job, that I'm trying to referee a game where I'm still working out the rules. That things would fall apart, and if they didn't, then I would. In spite of this, as I walked, another tangible emotion found its way into my head: a kind of confident peace. I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength. It's not complicated. There are things within my grasp that I'll be astonished at, because they come from Him, not me. I don't have to suppose that I'll be watching others operate in the power of God; that's too complicated. Faith isn't complicated; I don't have to rationalise my disappointments; God is unfathomable, but also so straightforward. I can trust Him.
