“If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor.” —Eleanor Roosevelt
I like to have a good idea of where I am headed. I am a planner, and I like to see the steps ahead coming before I get there. One of the things that comforts me the most is my gps! It sounds crazy, but knowing that I will be told where to turn and what to do before I get to a fork in the road brings me a lot of peace. Life doesn't always cooperate with me on this. Sometimes, my battery dies, or I lose signal. My perfectly laid plans get completely derailed because someone got sick or the weather is bad, or an event is canceled. As much as I wish I could, we can't see everything around the bend. But we have a God who does see the big picture- a God we can trust wholeheartedly! When we recognize that life will always throw us curveballs, and we put our trust in God to see us through, we can have peace even in the unexpected, because we know He loves us so much.
He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord. Psalm 112:7
