No Getting Frustrated, Throwing Up Your Hands in Desperation, Wondering

Often times God has a plan that we don't understand. He will allow us to go through circumstances and situations we'd like to get out of and we often get frustrated about. We throw up our hands in desperation crying out to the Lord "this isn't fair" or questioning God with a "why, God?" We wonder and reason and can't relate to what is happening sometimes until we are looking back but in II Corinthians 6:2 and 3we read "we give no offense in anything." The Message Bible says this, "don't frustrate God's work by showing up late, throwing a question mark over everything we're doing." God doesn't get frustrated but we can frustrate the work God is doing on earth by not being alert and ready for the opportunities He places around us with the people around us. We can be one who is constantly trying to figure out God or questioning what He is doing instead of trusting and participating in His work even when we don't understand the whole picture. He does. He knows the big picture of what He is doing, you can be sure of that. He is often working behind the scenes on our behalf and we don't even know it, but he does. He knows all things, sees all things, is in the midst of all things, and has all the power to do all things. And, this power He has passed on to those who love Him. We simply are to trust and obey.

Psalm 71:5, Romans 6:16
