We like a God who follows our schedule. We pray, picture the answer, and quietly decide what He should do—and when He should do it.
Then God says no. Or wait. Or He leads us down a road we never would have chosen.
That is when faith steps out from behind our words. If God does not do the very thing we are certain He should do, will we still believe? Is He Lord only when He follows our plans, or is He still Lord when He shatters them?
Faith is not a deal we make with God for a life without pain. It clings to Him because there is nowhere greater to go. He alone holds the words of eternal life.
When our plans collapse, we stand where the disciples stood. We may not understand what God is doing, but we know who He is.
Where else would we go?
“Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.” —John 6:67–68
