This much I know!


“There are times when we see glimpses of God’s ways but not enough to allow us to make true conclusions about what he is doing and why. Yet we cannot resist jumping to conclusions anyway. Then, being insistent as well as inquisitive, we refuse to suspend judgment, and our wrong conclusions so misrepresent God that we end by doubting Him. But if the Christian’s faith is to be itself and let God be God at such times, it must suspend judgment and say, “Father, I do not understand you, but I trust you.”
“Notice what this means. Christians do not say, “I do not understand you at all, but I trust you anyway.” Rather we say, “I do not understand you in this situation, but I understand why I trust you anyway. Therefore I can trust that you understand even though I don’t.” - Oz Guinness


Oh how true this is!! My understanding of a situation doesn't somehow make it valid or make it legit. There are many things in this life I will never understand! Many circumstances that I will never know why they occurred. But one thing I do know - My Savior is at work. He has ordained my days. He is fully trustworthy and infinitely good. This much I know!
