Confused Much?


2 Corinthians 5:7 “For we live by faith and not by sight.”

Today was a very busy day at work.  It seems your mind gets a little hazy at moments after it’s been going ninety miles an hour for such a long time.  I had a lady come up and ask me to check her financial aid but she called it something different.  My mind could not figure out what in the world she was asking for.  Finally I was able to pinpoint her dilemma and help her.  Sometimes we get confused about what God is asking us to do and it feels like we’re walking blind.  God will always make it clear to us what we need to do when we need to do it.  It may seem confusing as we are making our way from checkpoint to checkpoint but I feel God allows that sometimes because it pushes us to walk more in faith and not by sight.  If He always laid it in front of our face plain as day we would have no reason to have very much faith.  God is wonderfully gracious but He wants us to learn from things to have a deep understanding.  So, He gives us moments to be faithful in instead of just handing us faith.  If He just handed it to us we wouldn’t have a reason to need it.

1 Corinthians 2:7 “God’s wisdom is something mysterious that goes deep into the interior of His purposes.  You don’t find it lying around on the surface.  It’s not the latest message, but more like the oldest-what God determined as the way to bring  out His best in us, long before we arrived on the scene.”
