Why? Why does God sometimes lead in such hard ways? I was sure I had seen his leading… but now all I see is a complete dead end. With no other options. Perhaps I just don’t have enough patience.
Deep down I know He knows what He’s doing, but it’s so hard when you can’t see it. It’s easy to get caught in the moment, to become focused on the present, and to lose sight of His infinite plan. But you can’t see all of His plan anyway, He only shows bit by bit as time goes along. I suppose it’s probably a good thing. I couldn’t handle it all at once.
I have no more options… except one. I know God’s plan has already included every one of these experiences, and it also has a solution to all this. My only option left is to trust Him… Because He has a plan. I don’t have to settle for less.
Wow! Thanks for sharing this! I totally know what you’re talking about. “My only option left is to trust Him…Because He has a plan. I don’t have to settle for less.” Needed to read this! God bless you and you will be in my prayers!
Prayers are with you, fellow soldier!
“Nothing is apparently more helpless, yet really more invincible, than the soul that feels its nothingness and relies wholly on the merits of the Saviour. God would send every angel in heaven to the aid of such a one, rather than allow him to be overcome.” {7T 17.3}
The project in Kenya has been on my mind since yesterday morning, and now I know why! I’ve been praying for the whole project and I will keep praying. Keep trusting God’s timing and planning. “Take to Him everything that perplexes the mind. Nothing is too great for Him to bear, for He holds up worlds, He rules over all the affairs of the universe. Nothing that in any way concerns our peace is too small for Him to notice” (SC 100). “Our heavenly Father has a thousand ways to provide for us of which we know nothing. Those who accept the one principle of making the service of God supreme, will find perplexities vanish and a plain path before their feet” (MH 481). She doesn’t say the path will vanish immediately, but the promise is certain that it will at some point! God bless you, brother, and keep looking up!
Praying for you brother!
