A quote for you, again, and some commentary by me....
“Face the future… Do not seek to see it. You are robbing Faith of her sublime sweetness if you do this. Just know that all is well and that Faith, not seeing but believing, is what will bear you to safety over the stormy waters.”
~Lysa TerKeurst
Faith, of course, is a gift of God.
A gift to be exercised.
God expects us to use faith to trust in and rely upon Him!
An interesting concept, to allow tomorrow to come without trying to seek it out or to solve it.
A Biblical concept at that, and actually a command. "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own" (Matthew 6:34). A command that is hard for most of us to follow in our "be in control" society.
I'm not sure what I think about her comment that "all is well" today. I don't think that faith is ever blindly thinking that everything is picture-perfect, but rather that all is providential, whether good or evil. To know that nothing that happens is ever out of God's control or His will. That definitely requires faith.
And gives peace, despite what today holds or tomorrow will bring.
