What I Do Know...

If I knew the beginning from the end, as God does, my thoughts and emotions would all be different this morning. If I knew that next week I would land that job or next month I would get a publisher for my book, I would be full of hope and confidence. Because I could look at my situation in light of the answers—in light of the future. But I don’t have eyes to see into the future. The air around me is overcast…even ominous. What lies ahead may, indeed, be positive, but it could also be full of unexpected heartache and struggle. It could be beyond what I think my heart can bear. And this morning I am suspended between the possible, the inevitable,…the unknown.

But God says to me, “It is enough that I hold your future. It is enough that I see the path and know what lies ahead.” So I give Him my trust—Him who has pledged to never leave me, who has promised to care for me, who has dreams, plans and a destiny for me to walk in. And in return, I receive His tangible presence next to me. His comforting peace is poured like honey over my quietly suffering heart. His guiding hand holds mine as we walk forward together.

I don’t know the beginning from the end,…but I do know Him. And, today, that is enough.
