So he will do to me whatever he has planned. He controls my destiny. [Job 23:14 (NLT)]

When life goes wrong, when disaster strikes, when there is illness, sorrow, or even death, we want to know why. That question is rarely, if ever, answered to our satisfaction, and yet God asks us to trust him and his infinite love and wisdom. Faith is accepting that much of life is inexplicable. Faith is being willing to leave our questions unanswered and to accept an unknown future. Faith is being willing to see God’s presence not just in happy times but also in sad. Faith is saying (and accepting), “He will do to me whatever he has planned. He controls my destiny.”

Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservation. [D. Elton Trueblood]
