Trust Him

As Jesus spoke to the multitude of people, He said things that didn’t make sense to their natural mind.  Much of it sounded quite bizarre; leading some to think that He was a crazy man.  At the conclusion of His talk, the Bible says:
 
“From this time many of His disciples turned back and no longer followed Him.  "Do you also want to go away?" Jesus asked the Twelve.  Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”
 
Notice that Peter doesn’t stop there, but goes on to say, “Also we have come to BELIEVE and KNOW that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”  (John 6:66-69)
 
When we come to the realization that Jesus IS who He says He is, we can fully trust Him when He tells us something or directs us in a way that doesn’t make sense to us.  We can trust Him even when the multitude mocks and when those who once followed Him walk away. 
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:9)
 
TRUST HIM!  And trust that His plans for you ARE good! (Jeremiah 29:11) :)

Seasons



Seasons in our life have purpose and will only be productive if we work along with them... Every season has an end, but we can't rush it along and make it happen in our timing and in our way. Running out in shorts in the dead of winter doesn't change the season! We have to trust and cooperate with the ONE who is working for our good even in the hardest of circumstances. “He makes everything beautiful in its time.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

When we wear shorts in the winter, we suffer the pain of freezing. Wearing a snowsuit in the summer, we face the agony of overheating. When we force ourselves into a season that is over, we suffer pain because God is no longer in that season. He is a NOW God... He heals the pain of the past, but He doesn't dwell there. Don't try thrusting yourself into the next season either. The current one is preparing you for it :)
