At some point, you just have to trust God. Sooner or later, we’ll have to stop relying
on our own certainty about things, and just say, “I gotta trust you, God.”
If we’re sick, maybe with a chronic illness, and we’re
tempted to try to figure it out or “beat it,” at some point our faith has to
kick in. At some point we’ll have to
say, “I don’t get it, Lord; but I gotta trust you. I’m gonna trust that things will turn out for
the good.”
And even if life is going well,
we don’t want to let our “purple robes and sumptuous dining” to distract us
from turning to God. Even our prayers of
thanks are a sign of our trust in God’s
goodness and mercy.
Whether life is up or down, or going nowhere, we just have to
trust God. And it’s good to practice
that trust now, because sooner or later, when we face that transition from this
life to the next, all we’ll be able to say is: “I gotta trust you, God.” That’s the one sure thing: that God will be
there . . . and we can trust in him.
