What happens when you don't "see" God working? Do you get angry? Do you feel sad? Do you give up easily? Do you run away into other comforts and pleasures? These past weeks, we have been learning about God's plans. Yes, it's hard to see exactly how God's working things out, but today's verse affirms this truth: You don't need to see it before choosing to believe it.
Trusting God brings joy, a joy that doesn't come from wishful thinking but from the love for God. This kind of trust isn't wandering aimlessly but comes from a specific place. When you choose to love God above all else, trust comes naturally. We love because God first loved us, and that love conquers out all fear. You may not see the results you expected, nor have all the answers, but you have something even better—God's love.
Of all of the ways Jesus gives us hope, which of them brings a smile to you today?

About this Plan
At Christmastime, there's always a lot for us to look forward to — sometimes impatiently. But you know the saying, "good things come to those who wait”? It's true for Christmases now, but it was true on the very first Christmas as well, when God's long-awaited plan began to unfold. In this 20-day devotional series from Grow Curriculum, we’ll hear more about God's plans for us and the whole world.
