I Just Don't Understand!

What's my purpose? What am I supposed to be doing? Why has this happened to me? What path am I supposed to take? 

These are just a few of the millions of spiritual questions we have asked ourselves at one point or another in our lives. We always are looking for an answer and seem to rarely, if ever, find it ourselves. The answers are there and they lie within you.  The answers may not be revealed at this point, or today, it tomorrow or in the next five years. However, I promise they will be revealed in due time. The caveat is, you must let these answers to you. The more you seek and the more you ask, the less you will learn and the less you will know. 

In baseball you let the pitch come to you when hitting. You let the play come to you in football. In basketball you let the game come to you. You want to be aggressive and go get what you want, but over aggressiveness often leads to big failures or losses. You make things happen, but you do so in the kiddy of the game. You respect the game and it's boundaries and the game will respect you. 

Life, to me, is the same. You have free will and you make things happen. You have to be aggressive. You have to ask questions. You even will question your faith! Side not, even Jesus questioned God! It's all ok. But, in the end you have to let go of some parts of your life and let them come to you. Just as you would recognize a curveball and let it come to you and take it to the opposite field; you recognize opportunities that God has put in your life and you take them on (yes, sometimes they will be curve balls when you're expecting a fastball down the heart of the plate). 

God has a plan for you. It is His will. And, in time it will be revealed to you and you will find the answers. But, if you're leaning out over the plate with your rear end flailed out, then you'll swing and miss. If you run a post pattern and God's will was for you run a corner route, then you will probably miss that touchdown of life. 

Life happens. For me a favor and let it happen. It's hard! I know! I'm trying to do it now! So, do it with me. We cannot attempt to understand God and his will for our lives until it is revealed to us. I stand a better chance of understanding women and Curling before I do God and his plan for my life. Be patient and things will happen in due time. Be strong, have faith, pray and continue to take chances (when appropriate)! 

This post was based on the passage Proverbs 3:5-6 - Trust in The Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. 

Thanks for reading and God bless!
