Then I looked

    and behold...

          Ezekiel 10. 1

(When we seek God,

He reveals something

         very different to us,

a new way to see

      the same circumstances,

how to approach difficulty

     (or even favor),

and how to respond.

No matter what

we are going through,

God redeems and provides

far beyond our own vision

    and even our lifetimes.

When we look,

            behold,

that which we have

not yet considered before.

We may not see the outcome,

   nor His grand narrative,

but God provides

          the next step

     that lies nearest

and then, look again,

     and there, the next.

"Trust Me in this.")

O LORD,

We cannot know what the day

              may bring,

but we can know

  that we can trust You

  and You are with us in it.

You are sovereign

            and we are not.

There are some things

    we will never understand.

It may not look the way

      we imagined it would be,

but we can seek

  the heart and mind of Christ

                in this.

We can stake our lives

        on our hope in You.
