"The future is God’s country. He alone may wander there."

This is gold--I think I'll write it down. Absolutely and desperately needed this. My January hasn't been too terrible but the future January I have been trying to divine through my own meager implements has been scary and uncertain. I've been trying to convince myself to do "the next right thing" and to trust in God (frequent recitations of "Jesus, I trust in you"), but they have not helped me to have peace.

This reminds me that trust is both giving the problem to God and also--letting go of it. It's in His hands. Watch Him work.

Thank you.

Wonderful words! They bring to mind another image you brought up recently, of the threads and knots on the backside of the tapestry of our lives -- God as the Weaver. Seems to me this is about the rough, unpredictable, unexpected, untidy, and surprising reality of Romans 8:28.
