Get used to it: God does not allow you to see everything He is doing. He leaves us with questions. He does not mind it being uncomfortable when He intentionally withholds information that we crave. He draws out our trust as He declines to give us clarity about the How, When, and Why of our lives. One of the main reasons God operates this way is because He has called us to live by faith (sometimes blind faith!) rather than us living by detailed guarantees and explanations. Abraham is an amazing person in the Bible who was called God’s friend. How could such a statement be made of Abraham? Because he continued to obey God upon the roller coaster of faith-walking with Him in order to obtain the promises from God over his life. Abraham learned to rest in covenant, even when there was no clarity. We will need to do the same as we answer the summons to walk with God by faith as His friend.
