One of the best things about the Scriptures is the brutal honesty and reality of human life. The mystery of human suffering in a world created by a loving God does not seem to make sense at times. God’s silence or how allowance of pain and predicaments is beyond our understanding. We do not see things from His view and we cannot experience a perfect world yet. I want to trust Him regardless of what may happen around us or to us. He has promised to NEVER leave us in the dark, even though a stretch of days may seem dark. Trust requires a faith that all will work out in the end. Our world loves statistical research and is becoming a data driven world. David trusted his research more than He trusted in God’s presence. I want to be found faithful to Him, not in our world’s accomplishments or my achievements.
