the evil spirit knew what I sometimes doubt

Luke 4:31-36
I was challenged by what the evil spirit shouted..."Ha! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth,....I know who you are--the Holy One of God." There are days I'm not AMAZED with His teaching. I struggle with His authority, His timing, even His gentleness that cast out the demons that threw the man down (I'm sure the evil spirits would have wanted to destroy the man) but "they" came out without injuring him. That had to be God's authority over evil.

So...in the space of three verses I'm questioning; His authority, Who He is, His care for people, His gentleness, His power. As His child I struggle with these things...the Who He is things. I'm humbled by an evil spirit who didn't second guess or question my Jesus but knew Who He was/is.

I want to say,"I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!! THE HOLY ONE OF GOD!! ...so I will trust You.
