"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son but only the Father." Matthew 24:36
The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of the law. Deuteronomy 29:29( NIV)
It is natural to seek answers from God concerning certain happenings in our lives and around us. Sometimes we may receive answers but other times we don't. When we don't, other things begin to show up. Doubt, anxiety, frustration, anger and even lack of faith. We want to understand or get an explanation of things for us to move on but God is not obligated to give explanations whatsoever.
We find contentment in trusting God even when we don't understand all the reasons why things have happened. Faith is the substance of things not seen but also the continual trust in God when things manifest contrary to our expectation.
Many of us have unanswered questions.We need to accept that some of our questions may never be answered in this life and so we must move on to other things God has for us. We might be spending unnecessary time waiting for explanations that are not forthcoming and miss on other great things. I believe that if something is important and need to be revealed, when we seek God truly, He will do it.
The return of Jesus Christ is said to be known only by God the Father not even Jesus who is to come knows the date or time. This is such an important day in the church and it affects the whole mankind, yet it is only known to God the Father.
We can trust God even when certain things do not make sense or are not revealed because His plans are always good for us. He is on our side. We must also accept that certain things are the pure prerogative of God and He has exclusive rights. And that is contentment. A treasure for all seasons.
Dear God, help me to trust You with my unanswered questions and to know that you are the answer to all that I seek.In Jesus name.Amen
