Proverbs 20:24 the Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way?
Hahahaha. Truth! So so true. And yet we do. We do try to understand everything. At least I do. I just wrote on a whiteboard in my room the other day - “STOP trying to figure out the why. Just go with it. God’s on it. Trust him.”
For me personally, I like when things make sense. I believe most of us do. God, however, notoriously chooses to not make sense, whether we like it or not. I have found in those moments when I simply let go of trying to figure out a why and do indeed just go with God’s crazy plan and follow the unfamiliar path he has me on (or maybe it’s a very familiar path he has me on and why are we here AGAIN? See…the question of why. It’s always there!) that I end up enjoying myself so much more and there is most definitely a freedom in really trusting God.
So today - try it! Try letting go of figuring out the why. Try to remind yourself to be present and trust that God has goodness in store for you even in the middle of shapoppiness and chaos and fatigue. It won’t be easy at first. It’ll take practice and constant reminders to yourself. But it is possible. I’m still in practicing mode and the more I do it the freer I feel. I promise this can be for you too if you ask God for help!
