Christian Reflection and Prayer

Most of us go to doctors who give us instructions
that we don’t always understand, or pills with
ingredients we haven’t heard of. But we take them
because we know that they will make us better.
Have you ever had a computer technician work on
your computer? Most of us haven’t a clue about
what they are doing. But whatever they do, it sure
seems to work (at least most of the time). In our
physical world, we let go of the need to understand
all of the time. We need to do the same in our
spiritual lives as well.

Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Faith is taking
the first step even when you don’t see the whole
staircase.” We may not understand where our path
is leading us, or why there are so many twists and
turns. We don’t have to!  We don’t have to
understand God’s ways, but we do have to have
faith to obey and trust Him. It’s those things that we
can’t understand that ultimately give direction to our
lives.
