WHEN LIFE DOESN’T MAKE SENSE…
Men, can I be honest?
Lately, I’ve been in a season where I’ve had to fight the urge to rely on my own understanding.
When plans don’t work out…
When doors close…
When life feels uncertain…
When the answers don’t come as quickly as we’d like…
My first instinct is to figure it out myself.
To solve the problem.
To carry the weight.
To stay in control.
But God keeps reminding me that He never asked me to carry what only He can.
He asked me to trust Him.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” — Proverbs 3:5-6
That’s easier to quote than it is to live.
Trust isn’t tested when life is easy.
Trust is tested when your plans fall apart.
I’ve had to stop asking, “God, why is this happening?”
And start asking, “God, what are You teaching me through this?”
I’ve learned that God’s wisdom often calls us to wait when we want to act, to pray when we want to panic, and to trust when we can’t yet see the outcome.
Maybe you’re in that season too.
A season where you’re carrying burdens at work, in your marriage, with your children, your finances, your health, or simply wondering what’s next.
Brother, don’t quit.
Don’t let discouragement make decisions that faith should make.
Keep praying.
Keep trusting.
Keep taking the next faithful step.
God has never abandoned His people, and He’s not going to start with you.
“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” — James 1:5
Discussion Question:
What’s one area of your life right now where you’re struggling to trust God’s wisdom over your own understanding?
You don’t have to have all the answers. Sometimes admitting the struggle is the first step toward letting God carry it.
