Food for thought

Most of us go through life praying a little, planning a little, jockeying for position, hoping but never being quite certain of anything, and always secretly afraid that we will miss the way…There is a better way. It is to repudiate our own wisdom and take instead the infinite wisdom of the Father. Our insistence upon seeing ahead is enough, but it is a real hindrance to our spiritual progress…the Father constantly encourages us to trust Him in the dark…It is as if the Father were saying, “What I am is all that need matter to you, for there lie your hope and peace. I will do what I do, and it will all come to light at last, but how I do it is My secret. Trust Me, and be not afraid.” from The Knowledge of the Holy by A.W. Tozer

Chewing on these words as I head off to enjoy the last day in my city.
