from "Running Scared" by Ed Welch

As for me, I want to watch and endure, not worry. I want to be like the night watchmen who are waiting to see first light. God is the God of suspense, but it is a suspense that teaches us peace. He is the God of surprises, but the surprises are always better than we could have dreamed. I can't put Him in a box and assume that He should act according tome time schedule and according to my less sophisticated version of what is good. I need the mind of Christ. I can do with nothing less.

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame. - Heb. 12:2

Say it: "Lord, I trust You."
