“I was personally unknown
to the churches of Judea that are in Christ. They only heard the report: ‘The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the
faith he once tried to destroy.’”
Paul was as determined
and passionate and intent as they come, and his understanding was, in a single
moment, totally turned upside down when Jesus spoke to him on the road one day
as he was going about his business.
It got me to thinking about how I sometimes try to understand and put
the pieces place, then move in them.
But often I can’t see that clearly or that far ahead. Sometimes I just need my outer layer to
be soft, trusting His promises, receiving those instead of wrapping myself up
in some layer of protection until it makes sense. God is at work.
If I rest in that truth, expecting Him to be doing yet unseen good, I am
much more likely to be a participant of whatever He is doing in the places I
am. I will breathe in the unknown
confidently instead of twisted into the tiny knots of apprehension. It seems freeing this morning to
realize all I don’t have to know if I know Him.
