Trust

I'm one of those folks who wants to know how it ends.  You know... you're reading a really good book and you don't know if the guy is going to get the girl or you don't know "who done it".  I'm the one who will be a quarter to half way through the book and be so intrigued I will flip to the end of the book and read the last few pages and then go back.  Unfortunately, life doesn't work that way.  Wouldn't it be great (for me anyway) if it did?  Then, I would know that everything is going to be okay.  I would see the challenges and roadblocks ahead and would be able to see how we made it through. 

It all comes down to trust.  It is so difficult to trust in that which you cannot see.  I must remember that God's word says that He has plans to prosper me (and my family) and not to harm me, plans for my good.  Now, it doesn't say that there won't be pain and won't be things I don't understand.  He also says He will work all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.  I know God has a plan.  I don't know what it is yet I want to so badly.  Lord, help my unbelief.  Teach me to trust.  Give me wisdom.  Show me Your way.  Give me more of You.
