But Why?

Has anyone else had trouble following directions explicitly when you don't know the final outcome?  Or the reason for following the directions besides being obedient?
Just doing because you were asked.
God help me to be faithful regardless of my insecurities.  Regardless of my inconsistencies and my lack of knowledge.  God help me.  Why does obedience seem so hard at the smallest request?  Could it be we want some form of control to know what happens next?  It reminds me of the same question my five year old always ask "and then what.....?? and then what Mommie?"  I would respond, just deal with the now of what I said not the next thing.  Of course she didn't understand that so I said what I heard my mom say to me so many times when I was young....."Because I said so."  This still makes me laugh because it didn't do for me then and the look I get from my child now says the same thing.  But why?  Some obedient acts are just simple and others take courage.  Others take unselfish acts of generosity while some are emotionally hard but required to be obedient.

All I know is the God I serve is able!  Not only is he God.  He is the God of all wisdom, foresight and hindsight.  He knows all.  He is purposeful.  Every request is intentional and purposeful.  God knows and that's enough.  It's enough that he knows and will not withhold no good thing from us.  Even though the requests seems simple at times and our questions of why start to cloud our limited view of the BIG view.

God help us to have peace in our believing that you will work ALL things out for our good! In Jesus name!

If you have been here, let me encourage you, it will work out.  It will. It will. It will!
