When you can’t see clearly, trust what you know—not what you feel.
WALK IN GOD’S WISDOM (v. 1)
When we walk closely with God, His wisdom shines through us.
People can see the peace of God on a person who fears Him. (Psalm 42:11)
“A person’s face is the signature of his soul.” – W. Stridger
Wisdom brings clarity in confusion and peace in pressure. When you walk with God, it shows.
WAIT WITH PATIENCE AND TRUST (vv. 2–7)
Life won’t always make sense. Some things can’t be changed.
Wisdom helps us stay humble and know when to submit, even when we don’t fully understand.
When you can’t control the outcome, rest in the sovereignty of God. He’s still working even when you can’t see how.
REMEMBER: WE ARE NOT IN CONTROL (vv. 8–14)
Death (v. 8):
We can care for our bodies, but life and death are in God’s hands.
We can care for our bodies, but life and death are in God’s hands.
Hurt (v. 9):
Everyone gets hurt. In a fallen world, imperfect people will fail us. Choose grace over bitterness.

Disparity (v. 10):
Life can seem unfair. The ungodly may be praised while the godly are overlooked. But God sees the full picture.

Delayed Justice (vv. 11–14):
God’s justice may seem slow, but He’s never late.
He is not asleep at the wheel. Keep trusting—His timing is perfect.

LIVE IN DAILY DEPENDENCE ON GOD (vv. 15–17)
Don’t let what you don’t understand steal the joy of what you do know. Enjoy the gifts God gives, even in an uncertain world.
When you can’t see the path ahead, fly by the panel—trust the instruments of God’s truth.
