How Can I Trust God When...Sýnishorn

HOW CAN I TRUST GOD WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH UNCERTAINTY IN MY LIFE?

I was watching a movie recently that involved two FBI agents with different levels of clearance. One seemed to be privy to information that the other one wasn’t aware of, and when he asked for information, he was told that it was given on a “need to know” basis.

I think God’s like that with us sometimes. If we need to know something, we can always be assured that He will tell us, but if we don’t need to know, or it is better for us not to know, then He won’t tell us, and we can, and should, learn to be satisfied with that.

Instead of getting confused and frustrated while trying to reason and question things in life, why not simply trust God to work with us on a “need to know” basis?

It’s not wrong to ask God questions. But don’t ever let healthy reasoning become unhealthy or ungodly. Let peace be the umpire in your life (see Colossians 3:15). In other words, let peace be the deciding factor as to whether or not God is pleased with your questions and keep on trusting until you receive your answer.

TIP FROM JOYCE:

Just because we don’t know the way doesn’t mean that there is no way.
