Unwelcome intrusions litter the landscape of our lives. After enduring one crisis, we foolishly believe we are safe and that life should somehow run smoothly now. But it rarely does. We are forced to learn and re-learn vital lessons at each stage as God tutors us in the basics of obedience and trust.
We are usually in a hurry for God to answer our prayers and fix our problems. But from God's perspective, solving the problem is never the point. Developing intimacy with God is His focus. He desires us to seek His face, to run towards Him, to pursue a loving relationship with our Heavenly Father. He allows challenges in our lives to teach us to trust Him, to show us what obedience is all about. Obedience is not so much following the rules and minding your spiritual manners. On many different levels, obedience is learning to surrender my will to His, to accept His ways without murmuring and complaining. To focus on what is unseen and eternal rather than the difficult circumstance blocking my view.
In today's episode, our family is once again enrolled in school. Join us as we learn more of His faithfulness and sufficiency right in the middle of unwelcome intrusions.
