Wandering, seeking

So often in life we find ourselves wandering. Wondering. Seeking. Questioning. “What is next?” “What went wrong?” “What should I do now?”

These are legitimate questions. And they come from a place of brokenness and desperation. This might feel like a dark and depressed place to be, but it actually might be the most perfect place to be. In this place of confusion and not knowing we can and should be driven to our knees and driven to find the One who has the answers to all of life’s problems.

I don’t know why it is so hard to go to the One who will always, every-time have all that we need and will freely give it to those who ask Him, but for some reason it is. And so God uses overwhelming circumstances to show us our inadequacies and to reveal His own Sovereignty over all that is. And so when you find yourself wandering: seek the Lord. When you find yourself confused and defeated, look to the Victor. When you realize that you are at the end of your rope, stop grasping for things that will never really save you, and finally let the Lord catch you, save you, preserve you and restore you. Let God be God and stop trying to appear to have it all together. God knows you don’t have it all together and others know it too. It is a much more beautiful thing to see a person seeking refuge in the arms of God than to see someone flailing and self-destructing because they simply can’t let go.

Trust me, I know how hard this is. But when you finally let go, then God can and will catch you!
