I Don't Have to Understand!

The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way? Proverbs 20:24 NLT.

Such a short verse, but exactly what I need to hear! I'm a person that likes to know the plan! The Lord has been showing me that there's a bigger picture. That when we're walking through difficult things, that we're only seeing that part and not all of it! So, I've been learning to accept that and trust that God is in control and will use things for His purposes!

But, I'll be honest, even though I am learning to trust Him through things, all too often I am still trying to figure out the bigger picture. So...... as I was just wrote the previous sentence, it hit me is that really trust??????? Or, is true trust when you don't even have to know how God is going to use what you are walking through until HE is ready to reveal it to you?! It may sometimes be while you are in the middle of it, sometimes it might not be till years later and other times we may never even realize what the purpose was!

So, the challenge that I face is to stop trying to figure it out! I don't need to understand! I just need to walk in obedience, trusting the One who is leading me because He is directing my steps!
