Things happen for a reason. I've been struggling with this statement when I look at what's taking place in my life now. More often than not I plan ahead, but sometimes unexpected things happen. I'm come to realize that I can't control everything. This job would be too much for me. God, however, can handle anything. When questions about God's purpose flood my mind, I'm comforted by his Word which tells me that he daily bears my burdens (Psalms 68:19). When I place things into his hands, he takes the weight of uncertainty off my shoulders. My job is to simply trust in him and know that he has my best interest in mind. What a great God we serve.
