Proverbs 3:5-6 – Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your way acknowledge Him, and He will make your path straight.
Very often, we claim that “we trust God”. But when life is difficult, we start to blame God instead of seeking and trusting God. We always question, “Why God, why is it me?” or “God, please take my sorrow away”. Yet we had never questioned ourselves why Jesus die for my sin which do not belongs to Him?
How many times that when we are at the crossroad and doubt our way. We see the signboard given by God asking us to follow the path that He has chosen for us. To us, the path seems terrible. It is full with thorns, it is crooked. Then we stumble, we doubt, we question God, we even ask God to change the plan or we try to convince ourselves that maybe the signboard is mistaken.
Our sight is shallow. We could not see beyond God’s plan. Just like we couldn’t see that every ugly knots behind the cross-stitch is to ensure the threads are hold tight to portrait a pretty picture on the other side.
All we have to do at that point of confusion is “God will not give us a burden that we cannot bear”. So, when we are about to take a step into that “awful-looked” path, ask God for map as direction, wisdom as your sword, armor as your protection & angel as helper. Then by faith, we walk through strong and firm instead of asking for exception. If we can make it through, surely the reward at the end of the path is abundance.
Amen!
