Last night, I was added to a group text with some friends. An issue occurred that caused me to receive things out of order. It was crazy and a bit funny. I can only imagine what the others on the text thought when I kept saying “I don’t know what is going on.” I am pretty sure they were LOL-ing.
How many times do we do that with God? He gives us a piece…a glimpse…of what our life is to be like and when things start to look strange, we turn to Him and say “I don’t know what is going on here.” We are trying to make sense of it all when we don’t have all the pieces.
1 Samuel (starting with chapter 15) and 2 Samuel speaks on the life of King David. A young shepherd boy who, out of the blue, was anointed as King. In order to fulfill that role, he had to endure the wilderness and rejection. Do you think if he knew about his time in the wilderness, he would have graciously accepted that role?
We must trust God even when things look out of order. He knows what He is doing. Trust that one day, it will all make sense. The valley of the shadow of death is real, but His grace is even more real.
Proverbs 3:5-6 says: Trust in The Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
Do you know what happened with the group text? It all came in eventually…a bit out of order, but I was able to piece everything together. I pray God gives you the wisdom to do that with your life.
Be blessed.
