February 25: WHEN WE DON’T UNDERSTAND

Our part is not to understand all the plans of God. Our part is to trust the plans of God—to follow His plan, His process, and His people—when we don’t understand.
Dear Lord, it seems so very hard
To see beyond this strand.
So, help us, Lord, to trust in You
When we don't understand.
So many times we're troubled
As things don't go our way.
Remind us just to look to You
Each hour of every day.
Disappointments often come
To all who walk life's road.
Without Your understanding, Lord,
We'd fall beneath the load.
Our hopes and our ambitions, Lord,
So often go all wrong.
We find our day all filled with gloom
When we expect a song.
Our friends and loved ones try to help
Us see our problems through.
When they can't see what's in our heart
We can always count on You.
Yes, often we don't understand
The things that come our way.
But we can always count on You
To help us through each day.
When human efforts all have failed
To guide us through this sand,
Lord, help us turn our hearts to You
When we don't understand.   
—Norman R. Lindsay


Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God. (Psalm 42:11 NKJV)
 
THINK ABOUT IT.
