I was flipping through my old PC and came across a few archived letters that I had sent to my mentors. As I read the letters, I was laughing at that the things that happened and also yet grateful that all this while, God has been here with me, guiding me along. In one of the letter, I mentioned about reading a book by Joshua Harris. And in one of the chapter, he mentioned:

“God knows all things. ....................................... But that doesn’t mean our task is to discover what He already knows or to worry that we might miss His perfect plan. Our responsibility is to love Him, study His Word, deepen our relationship with Him, and learn to evaluate our choices in light of biblical wisdom. If we’re doing, these things, we can make our decisions in the confidence that we aren’t somehow missing God’s will.”

This verse really impressed upon my heart. Sometimes in our weaknesses, in our eagerness, in our impatience, we rush to God and start pestering Him for answers. And we totally missed the point of living. And in His words:

Isaiah 55:8-9

8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD.9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Sometimes, it is better for us not to know certain things at that point of time. We may not be prepared and in fact by knowing, we end up being stumbled. So let's trust in God that He knows when is the best time to let us know certain things.

In my own reflection, I learn this: God has already given me the best thing, Salvation and why would He want to hide away other good things from me. I thank God for Jesus Christ because without Him, even if I own the greatest treasures on earth, it will mean nothing.

In our wait and discovering of God's answers, our responsibility is to get closer to Him, learn His word and at the same time, act out in faith.
