Trust and Obey!

I know life is full of disappointments and frustrating times, evenmore so because of the shape of this world and the enemy trying to hinder and block God's blessings... so when you're facing something unexpected and troubling, I pray you find encouragement in this word... see, I have lived for the Lord long enough, and I've seen Him bring me through enough and protect me enough to know that when plans get changed, when the upsetting tears fall from your eyes, when the money seems to not be there to cover the bills, when sickness comes, when a long conversation ends and it seems it was pointless and nothing was settled, and when you shake your fists and scream out, 'why is this happening?'...you've got to come to understand that God is still there and sometimes He detours, delays, demotes, or devises plans because He is either protecting you, preparing you, or planning something better for you... just trust Him to lead the way and continue to guide you. He knows what He is doing. He is working behind the scenes and seeing what we cannot see. Remember in His word that He promises to go before us and pave the crooked paths straight... that means every roadblock, stumbling block, barrier, and hindrance shall be removed in His time... if you'll just continue to submit to His will, obey, and trust in Him!
