Do we really know what tomorrow will bring us? We think that we can predict it based on the events of today, but in fact we cannot. Life is fluid and ever changing, and many things are understood only by God Himself. So how does not knowing what tomorrow will bring make us feel, do we feel less human or do we feel more so in our unknowing? Does not being able to fully understand the world or something in it turn us towards God, or cause us to feel more alone and insignificant?
As men and women of faith we often encounter hardships or other occurrences in life that we don’t understand. We see great catastrophes, and horrific wrongs being done in the world and ask “Why is God allowing this to occur?” We pray for intervention, or at least an answer, yet despite our pleading, and questioning, we can’t hear an answer, or understand God’s reasoning in allowing such a terrible occurrence. In truth, we are often shown the good as it rises from the terrible things we have faced, and in those times when we don’t get a glimpse of it, it is because we can’t understand or aren’t capable of seeing, what God’s hand is constructing.
