I just (literally) read this in Joni Eareckson Tadas email devotional. It spoke to my I want to know whats going on perplexities in life. Maybe it will speak to yours. We say to God, If you dont mind, please show me where I am going. I dont need to see the whole road, but at least a little bit. We think our faith has to be supported by a bit of evidence. A hint, a signpost, a whisper... something to give us a clue as to what God is doing. We wrongly assume that faith is the ability to take a couple of puzzle pieces and be able to envision the entire picture. Not so. Faith that must be supported by the five senses is not genuine. Jesus said to doubting Thomas, You have believed me because you have seen me, but blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe. Our insistence upon discerning whats up ahead is natural, but it is a hindrance to real faith. Its why God constantly encourages us to trust Him in the dark (Isaiah 50:10). True faith means resting in who God is. He has charged Himself with full responsibility for your eternal happiness, and He stands ready to take over the management of your life. He is wise and good. Trust Him with whats ahead.
