So, I've not had a computer for a week and have therefore neglected quiet time, since my quiet times are based on Nicky Gumbel's Bible in One Year website. And what do I come back to?....
TRUST IN THE LORD!
God keeps reminding me of this, He is patient and keeps reminding me, because I obviously keep forgetting it!
'God can do anything, you know - far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, His Spirit deeply and gently within us.' Ephesians 3:20
I was thinking again about 'Trust in the Lord, and lean not on your own understanding.' God's understanding is so much more than our own. We only see and understand the tiniest bit, whereas God sees the whole thing. Think about the past when people thought the world was flat and if you sailed far enough you'd drop off the edge. Well to our sight, the world does look flat, you can't see the curve of the land beneath our feet because the world is too large. But God can see the whole world, He has it in the palm of His hand. When He tells us the world is round and we won't fall off the edge, we should believe Him - He can see it, we cannot.
The bottom line? Just because something doesn't make sense to human logic doesn't mean God has lost control or has forgotten us. Trust in Him and His understanding, He is far more wise than us puny humans!
