Sometimes I catch myself mentally running into the future where I fear there is impending doom and then trying to make wise choices today to steer away from trouble as much as I can.

Constantly thinking about what God doesn’t seem to be doing — and about my desire for my version of justice to come about — can become a focus, which, over time, can become an obsession and, if left unattended, can become a stronghold for the enemy of my soul.

Friend, we are all on a journey. God is with us. God is for us. God really can be trusted. But how He leads us and where He leads us will always be a bit of a mystery.

How can you know that someone who has broken your trust is now at a place to be responsible with your trust? It will take time.
