If We Knew the End

“He [God] is always doing something--the very best thing, the thing we ourselves would certainly choose if we knew the end from the beginning. He is at work to bring us to our full glory.” ~Elisabeth Elliot

What are you struggling with today?  We all have trials; some of them we think we can handle, some seem just too overwhelming.  Often our hearts are heavy or we waver in indecision or we have a need that must be met. 

I can't see what God is doing.  I don't know the end from the beginning.  But what's exciting about that is that I can exercise my faith and trust in God through those situations.  If it was always easy, if I always knew what to do, if I could meet my own needs, I wouldn't need Him.

And ultimately, isn't that what He wants - for me to recognize my lack and His sufficiency?  God is working, always, and always for my best and His glory.
