There are some seasons where God moves us out of once place into another for our own good. During these uncertain times, we will often sense a war raging in our souls--a tug-of-war of sorts, all because we can't clearly see God's plan. But just because you can't see God's plan, doesn't mean He is without one. When you don't understand, don't be discouraged. It's all apart of your journey.
Consider the great Prophets of old. Do you think they understood every command, directive, or challenge given to them by God? Of course not. On many occasions, they felt utterly confused and exasperated because of their lack of understanding. It's easy to read the scriptures and readily point out where these great men and women of faith faltered. But what about you and me? How do we react in times of uncertainty and confusion?
I know personally how hard it can be while you're waiting on the Lord for answers; it can be extremely frustrating not to know God's mind. Nevertheless, He's faithful to perform His word in our lives and see us through every challenge. Granted, trials don't seem helpful at all when we're right in the middle of them. When we're facing lack, opposition, tragedy, and uncertainty our natural inclination is to give into feelings of distress, despondency, bewilderment, and discouragement.
But know this; you may not understand what God is doing right now, but what He will produce from this wilderness will far and away exceed your wildest expectations. You may be drowning in a sea of problems with no hope of deliverance in sight, but when you least expect it, God will reveal Himself; after you have learned the lessons you need to learn, God will reveal Himself; after you move out of your comfort zone and take Him at His word, God will reveal Himself.
Just continue to trust Him even when it's difficult. Our wisdom and understanding is limited, but God is omniscient and omnipotent. All knowledge, wisdom, and power belongs to God! So rest assured, you're in the best hands.
As always, thanks for reading, and until next time... may you be empowered to prosper!
