"And I do this for a wise purpose; for thus it whispereth me, according to the workings of the Spirit of the Lord which is in me. And now, I do not know all things; but the Lord knoweth all things which are to come; wherefore, he worketh in me to do according to his will."
Words of Mormon 1:7
I love the perfect knowledge of God, and that through his Spirit he prepares us for things to come, even though we have no idea how it will work, he guides our paths. With the advantage of hindsight we can sometimes look back and see how important certain events and choices were, but in the moment we're often dismayed or worried about them becuase we don't know why things aren't working out the way we wanted them to. Luckily, God's way is always better, and so, if we can step back and God grants us a little of his perspective, we can learn to trust that, whatever comes, God knows what he is doing. If we can do that, then we can always learn to adjust to our circumstances, knowing that there is a reason.
Today, let's remember that there is a wise purpose. That doesn't mean we should walk through life as Zombies, believing that what we do doesn't matter. That isn't true. But when things work out differently than we expect, let's trust that God knows the path, and that if we stick with him, we are always going to get to someplace better than before. :)
