At times it seems as if God is leading us into confusion. He leads us to a place of service, and then places what appear to be insurmountable obstacles to our service there. He puts us in a situation that the world would call no win scenarios. I was reminded this week that if God leads to such a place, it is not a no-win situation. He has never faced a no-win situation. If He has brought you there, it's because He desires to reveal Himself to you in a new way. He has made it impossible for you to do anything about it even if you are one of those who believes that "God helps those that help themselves." Your only option is to trust in Him and pray for the ability to see Him more clearly and to know Him more deeply. He is our Rock, our Fortress, our Shelter in the time of storm, our ever present help in time of need. Though we are confused about where He is leading us, He is not confused or troubled at all. As the hymn exhorts us, "He leadeth me, O precious thought." That is enough.
