(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding

A man's steps are directed by the Lord.  How can anyone understand his own way?  (Proverbs 20:24)


If you are at all like me, then you like to have an understanding of things.  For instance, at work, I want to be as prepared as I can possibly be prior to a meeting.  I don't like the unknown during a client/prospect presentation or enrollment meeting with a group of employees.  I also enjoy pondering the meaning of life; why things happen the way they do and so forth.  The more I learn about God's ways, the less I truly understand.

Events that take place can be confusing at times.  There are many things that we simply may never understand, others will fall into place and we will be able to look back and see how God worked in certain situations.  The above Proverb assures us not to worry, even if we don't have all of the answers.  We must learn to accept that God knows what He is doing and learn to have complete confidence in Him, even if we don't have a clear understanding of His timing and design.

God's promises are real and they always work together for His good; despite our understanding!
