Faith - Day 50
Quote Day - Max Lucado - Welcome to our 60-day run
“Faith is not the belief that God will do what you want. It is the belief that God will do what is right.”
Max Lucado
What does this quote say to you?
To me, it says I am living in a “need to know” state, with a hierarchy above me that manages my decisions and navigates me to where I will thrive and survive. I don’t get to see the whole picture. Not all is revealed until it’s time to reveal. As I move where He leads, I have faith He guides me well. Even if I don’t understand it.
It’s actually a great coping mechanism.

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
Hebrews 11:1 NIV

I like the "need to know" observation of this post..
At first it sort of bothered me..I was like why not..
then I got to thinking.
Would I really understand if I saw more of the bigger picture or would I try to make changes to the broader plan, "improve" it (LOL), or at the very least question it....
then I came full circle and was like I got it, you answered my question Lord ..
I have found that I take comfort in the fact that I have a heavenly Father Who has things under control because it is obvious that we humans do not.
