When You Do Not Know

Have you ever felt helpless and frustrated at things that you cannot understand? Seasons of uncertainty is always annoying (It is really an understatement to use the word "annoying") The futility of our thoughts are beyond comprehension. Who is so clever and wise that he knows all things? No one. And therefore, when one gets stuck in a matter, the inability to decipher and understand it sets our emotions on a roller coaster. Frustration, confusion, self-doubts, distractions and what-have-you all pile in.

Therefore, it is expedient that one chuck the thought of having (an immediate) answer to his question aside. For what benefit will it reap if the time is not right for him to have the answer? Will he not be chasing after the wind? And will he not bring frustration upon himself over 'nothing'? Alas, not many are able to exercise great patience in such matters. We want an answer, and we want it now but we don't get it. How foolish it is to dig for one when the answer is in the air.

So it is easy to understand and it is easy for one to agree with the truth. But it is very difficult to be patient and live day by day without knowing. Accept your present circumstances and commit the matter to the Lord. He will know when to tell you the answer. Get your focus right.
