Burning Question:
Who is someone who treated you like family, even when they didn’t have to?
Morning Devotional:
There are three words that seem to frequently send me into a panic: “I don’t know.”
I have never been much for the unknown. Set a problem in front of me and I can be relentless in pursuing the answer. When I can’t find an answer or worse yet, can’t commit the time to investigate, I get frustrated. I am a person who profoundly dislikes the unknown.
This makes my walk with the Lord challenging because He doesn’t always tell me what I want to know about what lies ahead. I see an obstacle coming and I want to know how He’s going to get it out of the way, but when God tells me to be patient and trust Him? That’s hard – and that’s when I have to lean on things like faith, trust, and the knowledge that He is a good Father who takes care of His children.
In chapter 4 of his epistle, James writes, “You do not even know what will happen tomorrow.” So how about we approach today, and our tomorrows, knowing that God knows the plan for us and we don’t have to.
