You know, like those times where you know you were living right, doing right, talking right, and something comes and slaps you back? The times where you’re wondering how all of your staying on track got you halfway in left field?
That’s where I am right now.
I’m trying not to wallow in it, but I can’t help the wondering.
Was I right? Was I wrong? Did I hear God correctly? If so, then why am I here? Questions, questions, questions.
It made me think of how the disciples must have felt those three days while Jesus was dead. They had believed that He was the Messiah. They had heard His profound teaching. They experienced His love firsthand. They had been there with Him when He performed miracles in front of their eyes!
Yet, they had watched their Messiah die a lowly death on the cross. To them, it was all over.
So they locked themselves up in a room and drifted into wonder. Had they been wrong? Was it all a dream? Was Jesus just another prophet? Did they give up everything for nothing?
It was probably exhilarating to feel the exuberant joy and find that they were right all along in following Jesus! One can only imagine their happiness in realizing that the Savior had risen!
Even though I am in a state of wonder right now, I have to hold on to the faith that I have in Jesus. No matter how my life twists and turns, I have to trust that God is ultimately in control. As long as I continue to follow after His Word and obey what He is requiring of me, I’ll be alright come what may…that is the confidence I have in spite of everything.
Verse of the Day: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
