I Trust In Your Unfailing Love

 

How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?

Look on me and answer, LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death, and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall.

But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing the LORD’s praise, for he has been good to me.

Psalm 13:1-6

What happens when our children go in a different path than we wanted them to go? What happens when our own lives go in a different direction? What happens when health or finances or family get in our way? God has a better plan, and He will let you in on it, when you need to know about it.

Sometimes it is hard to see how God is working in our lives. His mysteries don’t always reveal their secrets to us, and our journey is often redirected by uncontrollable detours. God is showing us a better route.

Think about going on a vacation and you discover something is about to go wrong with your car, but it gets fixed just in time. Bad that it happened, good that it happened when it did.

To make sure we benefit from what might seem bad, we must understand the love God has for us.

We may not be able to control events,

 but we can control our attitude toward them.
