Faith and Trust I have learned, or I should say I am learning, many times God doesn’t give the answer. We want answers. One plus one equals two. We want to read the Bible that way. We pray, we want answers. But you want to know what’s really happening? In our seeking, praying, studying, He is growing our faith. When there’s faith you silently trust. In faith you believe and enjoy peace. The object becomes our Lord and Saviour, rather than an answer. This is why Stephen looked to heaven and saw angels while stones were knocking him to death. Stephen didn’t have an answer, He had God. (Acts 7:60) I have been SO MAD at God. Because of this vague-ness that sometimes surrounded my life. In fact, for awhile I let it drive me away from God, But now I am beginning to see that the vague-ness is God-ordained. It keeps us at His feet. I have a brother who often says “I don’t know” when the conversation turns to God. Some might look at that as unspiritual, but I see someone who doesn’t need to know. He is okay with just trusting. That trust has spoken volumes to me. Coffee Thoughts by
