Why doesn’t God just show me what the future holds?
I’ve asked that question hundreds of times. Or maybe you’ve asked why God only gives you a lamp for your feet when a floodlight would be more helpful. The answer is simple: He wants you and I to trust Him.
Proverbs 3:5 tells you to “Trust in the Lord with all your heart.” Trust Him with all of your problems, all of your shortcomings, and with your future. When you trust in God with all of your heart, you are putting a secure confidence in His control of your life… it is putting all of your eggs in God’s basket. You see, God isn’t going to give you a roadmap that outlines your future. God wants you to trust in Him, not a map. Don’t worry about the future. Trust means walking with God… even in the dark.
