As I started another semester of college this year one of my classes was philosophy. Now going into the class, I had heard many stories about the professor being pretty anti-christian, and he was pretty good at justifying it. But of course, this didn't bother me..nothing could shake my faith right?

Well, the sunday before I started class, I went to church that morning. I don't remember exsactly remember what the message was on, but one thing I do remember was God breaking me of some spiritual pride that I had built up. I realized that the only way that I would be able to maintain any level of spiritual certainty in the class would be God alone. There was no way I could do it. I had not gotten here alone, and it was only by the grace of God that I would be able to stay strong. "For the Lord God will be your cofidence and will keep your foot from slipping." Proverbs 3:26

So needless to say I wasn't so confident about my own abilities anymore.That Wednesday I walked into class for the first time. As I did, I prayed that God would keep my feet steady and that I would not look to myself for my own strength. The first class we started off talking abou God. I could tell that the teacher defiantly wasnt a christian, along with most of the class. It wasn't till the next week though that things got pretty tough. We were discussing some philospoher and his ideas( I wont get into all the details), but the teacher proceeded to make a very convincing argument against God.

As I walked out of class I was pretty discouraged, so, I prayed. As I prayed God reminded me about a lot of stuff he had showed me in the past. Jesus had said that he is the way, the truth, and the life. Now..if the truth is really the truth..then..you can't disprove it right?. 2+2=4. Thats the truth. You can't deny that. Thats what Jesus says about himself. He is the Truth. Period. No matter what my teacher said, and no matter how good of an argument he could make there must be something wrong with it. And there was. God showed me pleny of holes in my teachers argument.

God is extremely faithful. He said that he would not let my foot slip and I know that as long as I keep my faith in him and stay confident in him, he will keep me safe. We will all go through really tough situations in our life. Ones in where it seems like the entire world is coming down on us. And its easy to feel that you dont have enough faith, but in Romans 12:3, "...as God has alloted to each a measure of faith." God gives you the faith you will need, and he will never give you anything you can't handle. So each day I walk into class, I stay confident in the Lord that he will not let my foot slip for the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.
