In times of deep despair we dethrone Him through our doubt…
““In times of deep despair we dethrone Him through our doubt and find Him a failure through our fears. We cling to what we know, see, and feel, and then declare that God just isn’t there. We trust ourselves, instead of God. And that . . . is the greatest tragedy. But, God is greater than our sin . . . He’s greater than our pride.””
