Understanding

The lack of understanding, wow where do I go from here? There is such a lack of understanding for each of us whether we are talking about politics, religion, or why people act and say the things they say and do.

For me I have always been the type to sit and wait on someone to show me something new or tell me something new before I jump in. (YEAH RIGHT!!!) Unfortunately, its always been the opposite for me. It didn't matter if I understood or not, I was all in. As I get older I am starting to understand somethings...like why get drunk, putting yourself in certain situations, why people do not do what they say, and why do we not really put God FIRST. Is it fear, is it pride, is it anger,is it hurt, or is simply a choice? I think it is all of it put together. I think the lack of understanding of all these things is what holds each of us from fully seeking God.

I have and am still trying to understand a lot of things that are going on in my life but as I do I am learning that God doesn't want me to understand, He simply wants me to trust, trust Him now and the understanding will come later.

Proverbs 3: 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

Proverbs 2: 3 Yes if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding.
