2 Samuel 17:14
"And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon Absalom."
"God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his knowledge, is it likely that an empire can rise without his assistance?" -Benjamin Franklin (paraphrased)
"Why should I be discouraged? Why should my heart be sad? His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me."
Life is incomprehensible. To our human minds, nothing much makes sense in our limited view of the grand scheme. The illustration has been used - life is like a pile of puzzle pieces with no picture to guide you. God is putting each piece in place, but someday we will see the "picture on the box" and suddenly everything will make perfect sense.
Worry is pointless. Grumbling and complaining is sin. God is in control in ways we cannot even fathom. Trust Him, not your flawed understanding of how things would work.
What do I need to trust God for that I am neglecting to? Are there things in my past that I am bitter toward God about because they didn't make sense at the time?
