Today at church, we heard part of scripture from Habakkuk who was a prophet from the Old Testament. He cried out to God, complaining of his plight and the troubles of the people, and God answered him. The priest explained we may feel the same as the prophet as many of the same things are happening in our world right now. “How long, O LORD, must I cry for help and you do not listen? Or cry out to you, “Violence!” and you do not intervene? Why do you let me see iniquity? Why do you simply gaze at evil? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife and discord.” God’s answer was TRUST. Trust that His plan is unfolding in His time. I thought about the events in my own life when I literally cried out to God to make it stop. While the situation didn’t necessarily come to an end, after time I was able to see how God was still with me through it and that I was a different and better person. It is hard to trust when things go wrong according to what I think should be happening. But, I don’t know what the effect is or will be on myself or on other people. I know for sure that what I want isn’t always the best thing. Thank God He is God and I am not.
I Found God today in a reminder to trust Him and that His plan will come to fruition.
