Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding
Proverbs 3:5-6
As I witness my children grow, I also witness their world expand.
They ask more questions, are hesitant on their choice of words, they remain curious, and there is more confidence that I see.
As their world begins to take a shape they believe they understand it all. The connections are beginning to take place. Children are incredible observers. Since they do not have much life experience they are able to hyper focus on what’s in front of them.
It’s like they see things through a magnifying glass.
I think deep down they know they don’t know everything but who wants to admit that. Even adults don’t want to admit that.
To have been a child and then to an adult is humbling to say the least on how ignorant and innocent we were. How much we really didn’t know.
But also recognizing that in a way we are still very much children but in these “adult” bodies.
What is it that we don’t know yet but will find out soon enough? Or, what do we think we know but really are only sitting at the top of the iceberg?
I believe many of us lay in our beds just wondering. Wondering all sorts of things.
Wondering. Wondering. Wondering.
And it’s frustrating that we don’t have the answers. We have a difficult time trying to figure out where to start looking too.
But what if, we just aren’t ready. We just aren’t there yet.
We have to wait.
And we can wait with frustration or we can wait with confidence because that is how much we trust God.
Surrendering to God is not a one time thing. It is something we must do daily.
We have to give all those anxious thoughts and worries to God and know that God is guiding us.
This world if full of pain and sadness as many of us know and we cannot endure this place without Gods hand. We need Him. You need him. He waits for us.
This I do believe.
