What a title. However, that's how I've been feeling lately. As a Christian, I am growing and I have been given opportunities for study and more growth. I am very thankful for these opportunities. But, at times, I feel that the truths I have been learning have not sunk in. I feel at times that I am failing and that I really don't know anything. Is it because I don't have as much knowledge of the Word as I would like? That's possible. Is it because I have not memorized pertinent passages that support what I believe? That may be the case as well. Both may contribute to this feeling of failure. Another contributing factor can be found in Ephesians 6:12 "
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." (NASB) Satan and his minions will use ANYTHING to try to slow us down, or even stop us in our tracks, in the desire to follow Christ and be conformed to His image. I wonder if, right now, he's trying to use this feeling that I don't know anything, that I will never know enough, and that I am failing left and right to deter me or cause me to give up fervently seeking God's truths and His will. We are told that we will struggle, we are not told it will be easy. All I can do is continue to pray, read His Word and actively seek Him.

Your feelings are some what correct on this one and Satan will try to use it as well. I appreciate the fact that I don't know it all and that there is still so much to learn, because as long as I as still learning and growing, I am still here serving the most wonderful God. That's how I deal with still having so much to learn. God will get you there, just remember when he gets you there is when you are THERE. Love ya.
