Father, I’m a questioner. I want to know why things happen. Remind me that when You say it is from You, that is enough. Your reasoning is flawless. You see future events. I don’t. When You confirm they come from You, my questioning stops. Why? Because, Father, I trust You. I trust in your holiness, your faithfulness, your loving care for me, your desire for my next step in life, your omniscience and your perfect justice. Yes, I trust You in the name and authority of Jesus, according to your good and perfect will. Amen.
“Say to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, ‘Thus says the Lord, You shall not go up or fight against your relatives the people of Israel. Every man return to his home, for this thing is from me.’ So they listened to the word of the Lord and went home again, according to the word of the Lord.” (1 Kings 12: 23-24 ESV)
