Time And
Wisdom!
"our eyes saw my substance, being yet
unformed. And in Your book they all were
written, the days fashioned for me, when
as yet there were none of
them."
Psalm 139: 16
The longest and most detailed illustration of a
confused soul in the Bible is
the story of Job.
The beginning of his story all was well. Then
everything fell apart in his life as he lost it all.
Then he spent 37 chapters dialoguing with friends
about what had happened. At the end of his story
he listened to the wisdom of God, and his eyes
were opened (and his life restored). Two things
made a difference: Time and Listening to God.
Who among us does not encounter and
experience things we don’t understand?
It happens often—sometimes daily.
Waiting doesn’t mean passivity; it means active
faith in God’s purposes and plans. And it means
walking by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).
The active part of waiting is seeking God for
wisdom and understanding.
God knows our future before we take the
steps that lead us there. If you experience
confusion, patiently seek the Lord. Trust
that He is working out His plans for you.
"God’s purposes always
have God’s provision."
John Blanchard
