Tearing through lies is painful. Meaningless, meaningless, meaningless. This cycle of "circular silliness" can be such a unbelievable, humbling reminder that so much of what I strive for is rooted in my belief that I can make a temporary thing an ultimate thing. Tearing through lies is peace giving because it removed the burden of proof upon my soul, to try to prove to myself that the hell-bent fears existing within my soul are real because I believe them to be. Instead, to sit in this space and cling to the biblical reality that in the name of Christ, they do not have the final say. Simple or complex, both are feeble in light of my personal understanding. "I am weary, O God, and worn out. Surely I am too stupid to be a man. I have not the understanding of a man. I have not learned wisdom, nor have I knowledge of the Holy One." I love that Proverbs 30 partially bookends with the beginning of Proverbs 1 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction."
There is another sense to all this perception, another way to evaluate existence and reality, circumstances and change: faith. Finding hope in Jesus Christ. What a beautiful Truth in the context of the gift of understanding God gives, to see His son and trust He is ultimate.
