The Snowy Path Ahead
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.—Proverbs 3:5–6 (NIV)
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.—Isaiah 55:8 (NIV)
Do you have a long list of questions for when you get to heaven? Experiences and situations that you just can’t understand—the whys that are beyond your comprehension? Pray for patience. In the words of poet Rainer Maria Rilke, “Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves.”
Lord, when I toss and turn trying to figure everything out, help me focus on Your love in the current moment.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.—Proverbs 3:5–6 (NIV)
In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.—Job 1:22 (NIV)
A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.—Proverbs 14:30 (NIV)
