"Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and has made the Lord his hope and confidence."
~ Jeremiah 17:7 (King James Bible)
I want to know why! I need to know why! Why can't I know why!? Lord please tell me why! Have you ever felt that way? Needing, wanting, desperate for answers? I know I have. For many of us there have been times where we exhausted ourselves trying to find out answers but never finding not even an inkling as to what happened and why it happened. Though it's very natural to be curious about the peculiar events we go through in life, we often waste precious time trying to figure it all out. When we can't figure it out, that is when it is high time to put our trust in God.
God wants us to trust Him. In every circumstance He wants us to lean on His everlasting arm. He knows what's best. Trust and obey, there is no other way. To be happy in Jesus is to trust and obey. We sing it all the time. In the bible we read "trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding..." So why do we try to figure out things that are out of our control? It happened already. It cannot be changed. So why not just believe that He knows what's best for you? We should completely put our confidence in the Lord and let Him execute His perfect will in our lives.
If some unfortunate event has taken place in your life in the past or recently, be encouraged that God is in FULL control. If you put ALL of your trust in Him, He will never let you down. You are not alone on this journey we call life and there is nothing new under the sun. Your situation is no surprise to God. Be still, trust and obey.
Let's pray...
Lord thank You for Your powerful hand and wisdom that conducts our every day lives. If it were not for You we would be tossed to and fro by the storms of life. Please hold us safely in the palm of Your hands that we will not be harmed. Thank You for all that has taken place in our lives thus far, for they are what will and has made us stronger. Empower us and help us to continue to trust in You with every increment of our lives. In Jesus name. Amen.
