Great Calibrators of Faith

Our family has an “unknown” in our life today.  

It’s one of those situations where you have to wait and see, hold your emotions in check, wait some more, take a breath and wait again.  

We focus on the unknown when it’s really time to review what we know.  God is good.  The Lord reigns.  He is able. Lord, have mercy.  Those three-word sentences pack a powerful punch, don’t they? 

I’m thankful for unknowns, not because they make me happy, but because they can be great calibrators of faith.

Unknowns bring our vision into focus and remind us that our help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

We all subscribe in some measure to the myth of personal sovereignty; we all like to be in charge; we all have plans.  We plan for a straight road ahead and all of a sudden there is a curve!  

My husband’s words:  “As you know, the Lord sometimes draws straight with crooked lines.”
