“One thing is clear: God won’t be rushed. Without a willingness to wait, we will be regularly frustrated with God and may become disillusioned with our faith. God never promises us that our present circumstances will always make sense. Sometimes, we’ll have to wait until the present becomes the past before what we are going through becomes even remotely understandable.” ~Gary Thomas
There is something that sits profoundly well in my soul with this statement. If you believe the creator of the universe is all-knowing, perhaps it is worth considering that he can see past the wall that has blocked your view. When we look at our own circumstances, we can only see what is directly before us, not what is down the road. Instead of questioning Him, maybe it is time that we consider trusting Him. The Lord God Almighty who created you out of love...knows what is best for you...and will use all circumstances for good and for His glory.
He can see around the bend.
Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you. Matthew 7:9-12

Amen!
How often do we think temporally when God always works eternally? He works on a canvas such much bigger then our lives! The fact that God can see around the bend and is moving toward what is the best for Him is amazing. Its because what is good for Him, regarding our lives, is what is best for us.
Trust, an amazing amazing amazing thing. When we put our trust in everything in our lives to the Maker of this universe, He will do amazing things with a sinner's life. Praise God for Him wanting us, because He certainly didn't need us!
