We may not see the answer

For this command is a lamp, this teaching is a light, and correction and instruction are the way to life. (Proverbs 6:23 NIV)

 God has just filled life full of puzzles and problems and mysteries and excitement and suspense to challenge our intellect, hone our spirituality, strengthen our faith and our trust in Him, and to get us to want to find out the answers!
 He likes to almost tease us with these mysteries, because it really makes us pray. He leads us on step by step, but we don’t know what is going to happen to us until we land on the next step.
 He likes for us to have to seek it. Because this is exercising our faith in Him and His Word and His divine guidance and magnanimity, His parental love. It shows we trust in Him when we obey Him, even if we don’t know what’s at the end of the road.
 We may not see the answer, we may not know the solution, but we’re trusting God to fulfill His promises. He’s promised to never leave nor forsake us. —DBB [1]

 Many things about tomorrow, I don’t seem to understand. But I know who holds tomorrow, and I know who holds my hand. —Bill & Gloria Gaither
