When We Don't Understand

Now we see a dim reflection, as if we were looking into a mirror, but then we shall see clearly. Now I know only a part, but then I will know fully, as God has known me. - 1 Corinthians 13:12

As humans with limited understanding, we can never fully comprehend the hand of God. But as believers in a benevolent God, we must always trust the heart of our Heavenly Father.

Before His crucifixion, Jesus went to the Mount of Olives and poured out His heart to God, Jesus knew of the agony that He was destined to endure, but He also knew that God's will must be done, We, like our Savior, facetrials that bring fear and trembling to the very depths of our souls, but like Christ, we, too, must ultimately seek  God's will, not our own.

As this day unfolds, seek God's will for your life and obey His Word. When you entrust your life to Him completely and without reservation, he will give you the strength to meet any challenge, the courage to face any trial, and the wisdom to live in his righteousness and in His peace.

Prayer from the Blogger:

Heavenly Father,
We cannot see clearly, so in a sense we are blind. We come to you as our Great Physician. Touch our eyes that we may see as You see.
Amen

Read the following passage -

1 Corinthians 13

New Century Version (NCV)

13 I may speak in different languages^[a] of people or even angels. But if I do not have love, I am only a noisy bell or a crashing cymbal. ² I may have the gift of prophecy. I may understand all the secret things of God and have all knowledge, and I may have faith so great I can move mountains. But even with all these things, if I do not have love, then I am nothing. ³ I may give away everything I have, and I may even give my body as an offering to be burned.^[b] But I gain nothing if I do not have love.

⁴ Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud. ⁵ Love is not rude, is not selfish, and does not get upset with others. Love does not count up wrongs that have been done. ⁶ Love takes no pleasure in evil but rejoices over the truth. ⁷ Love patiently accepts all things. It always trusts, always hopes, and always endures.
⁸ Love never ends. There are gifts of prophecy, but they will be ended. There are gifts of speaking in different languages, but those gifts will stop. There is the gift of knowledge, but it will come to an end. ⁹ The reason is that our knowledge and our ability to prophesy are not perfect. ¹⁰ But when perfection comes, the things that are not perfect will end. ¹¹ When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I stopped those childish ways. ¹² It is the same with us. Now we see a dim reflection, as if we were looking into a mirror, but then we shall see clearly. Now I know only a part, but then I will know fully, as God has known me. ¹³ So these three things continue forever: faith, hope, and love. And the greatest of these is love.
