Have you ever had days (or weeks, months, and sometimes years) when you wonder if God is at work? If I’m being completely honest – there are times when I just don’t see what He’s doing. I have faith that He is doing something – but it’s so hard when we can’t see His plan. I’ve recently been at that place – where I know God is working, I believe with every fiber of my being that He has a plan – and it’s better than mine – but I CAN’T SEE IT!! And my mind just doesn’t want to be still and wait, so I feverishly run scenarios in my head, foolishly thinking I can figure out God. Oh the audacity!!

Here’s what I have learned (more accurately – what I AM learning) 1) God reveals His plan to me when I need to know it, not when I want to know it. 2) My 101 scenarios of possible outcomes are virtually never correct when it comes to my own mental ramblings. 3) Resting in His promises is easier said than done, but so worth the effort!

As I’ve begun to rest in His perfect (if yet unseen) plan, and release my burdens (family, finances, fears) to Him, I have begun to see Him at work. In all those things. Little by little. If you too have struggled to see Him at work, may I offer my encouragement to continue in faith, to seek the quiet surrender in His presence, and to see the beauty of His plan over our own.
