Sometimes life gets so hard and it's difficult for us to understand why we can't know what our entire life is going to look like all at once. I struggle with this often, the unknown. Sometimes I can find myself asking God why he can't just show me how things are going to end up.
And sometimes God does give us a sign, sometimes God does speak to us, but he doesn't tell us everything. In a devotional I was reading this week, there was one sentence that jumped out at me and really put me back in check. It said this: "You couldn't bear to see all your life at once."
How true is this? We, weak and flawed human beings, are incapable of comprehending all of this information that would come with understanding our entire lives. Furthermore, if we did know we would never truly live.
Taking a step back from our life and letting go of the need for control is one of the most difficult things that you can make yourself do, but this is so incredibly necessary. The unknown is faith. We have faith that God provides, that He is good, that He is with us! And we must have faith that His plan will be seen through and is far better than we could ever imagine!
John 3:30 says this; "He must become greater, I must become less." Stepping down off of our pedestal that we put ourselves on and letting go of our need to know will set us free of our chains to so much sin and so many demons. When we put our faith in God, nothing needs to become clear.
