I was thinking the other day, I was wishing that I could see into the future.  I thought about it a lot actually, and then I realized that I was in the future.  

What I mean is this… I started thinking about some of the trials and circumstances that I was facing, and wishing that I could see the end to know what was coming and as I wasted a half hour worrying about it, God was working.  My time was not spent in a worthwhile endeavor  trying to come to some type of resolution or fix to a problem, it was simply wasted.  While I moped and fretted over something that isn’t in my hands anyway, “God was working everything to my eventual good”(Romans 8:28).  

I wasted thirty minutes, I was 30 minutes further along in my life with nothing to show.  I was in the future.  It came without asking my permission, it came without my realization that it was coming.  I wasted time worrying over what the future might hold and yet it came and nothing happened, except that God was working.  He was in control the whole time.  Not one microsecond of time elapsed that God did not control, plan and allow.  There was not one minute in which God was worried that my future might not turn out exactly the way he had intended.

The problem lies in me, in fact it lies in all of us.  We are not willing to trust in God.  Maybe it is because we are unable to see Him, that makes us second guess His ability to come through.  Or perhaps it is our controlling nature (ME) that prohibits us from allowing God to work in the way that He desperately wants to in our lives.  For most of us however, it is because we have been let down so many times and left rejected, that we are unwillingly to open up our hearts to allow anyone else a place.  

God’s word says “He holds us in the palm of His Hand”(Psalms 95:3-5).  God’s desire for us is that we would simply trust Him, and to believe that He is able 

When I realized that I had accomplished nothing through my worrying, I made the decision to start trusting and stop wishing!
