Those of you who know me probably know that I am an information junkie. I like to know stuff and living at this point in history means that if there's something I decide I want to know I can just Google it. And of course I am constantly Googling things like where certain words come from, what major battles were turning points in wars fought long ago, why napping at work is beneficial, and an abundance of other things. Spending a week at camp last month without my phone on I didn't miss Facebook or texting or any of that social networking stuff, I missed having answers at my finger tips.
The thing is in this life There are things that happen with out a clear reason why. And it's so tempting to think that we need answers, to believe that we have to know why in order to accept the trial. However the Lord doesn't always tell us the why behind what He does. He calls us instead to trust that He knows what He is doing.
Deuteronomy 29:29 says "The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law." We won't always know why, we often won't know why because the secret things belong to the Lord, but we can trust Him in those things because He is OUR God. The Lord does not always let us see the reasons why hard times come, but He promises to love His people and we can trust the reasons why to Him. Our part is to continue to walk obediently in the things He has revealed to us. Sometimes even the information junkie has to lay aside the need for answers and rest in the arms of the Almighty God who is the only thing we really need.
