When questions remain

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding." Proverbs 3:5

Around 6 a.m. last Saturday morning, Gary Ferraro, 69, a beloved family man, retired police officer and athlete was killed while running westbound along a rural highway in Goshen, Kentucky. Oldham County Police confirmed the driver of a Ford Fusion who hit and killed Ferraro was also going westbound. The driver told police a truck's oncoming headlights were so bright that he looked away from the road for a split second only to look up and see Ferraro in the middle of his lane. Despite all this new information though, WAVE 3 News reported that there were many questions remaining. 

Sadly, every one of us will experience tragedies and sorrows in this life that will leave us with questions for which there will be no adequate explanations. It's during these times, when we struggle with "Why?" that God invites us to put our complete trust in Him instead, not looking to our "own understanding." In other words, when we choose to accept the invitation to trust Him with our whole heart as He wants us to, we choose to relinquish all questions and instead completely rest on the assurance that God's ways and His plans are always good and right - even if, and especially when, they don't make sense to us.  

So today, as you and I face life’s unanswered questions, may we choose to sing, “When You don't give the answers as I cry out to You, I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You.” 

Heavenly Father, thank You for the reminder that some things in life, especially heartbreak and loss, just don't make sense. Rather than our questioning why things happen, help us to trust that You are always faithful and always working things for the good of those who love You. May that thought bring us peace today as we trade our questions for trust. It's in your precious name we pray Jesus. Amen. 

Happy Running!!!
