I wonder how many times the Israelites said or thought that. During the exiles, while awaiting the promised and foretold Messiah, even while their loved ones were away--without instant messaging or texting or GPS tracking, or the other accommodations to the anxiety of not knowing.
I do not know. Will the decision be favorable or disciplinary? I am not even sure I want to return after many weeks of being on this (thankfully paid) leave. Maybe I needed the kick to practice being retired. It's not so bad. I have made a lot of progress on various projects that lingered and languished. Think "basement closet." (There is still more to do there.) My current challenge is prioritization; what is the best thing to do first?
Father God, I trust You and I will trust You. Your ways are NOT my ways, nor are Your thoughts my thoughts. Lead me in the path You have charted for me, and help me to follow You without engaging my intellectual rationalizations. You don't always make "sense" as the world sees sense, but You always do what is right and good. For the sake of Your kingdom, and may it come soon! Amen.
