"A man's steps are directed by the Lord.
How then can anyone understand his own way?"
Proverbs 20:24
We take great pride and confidence and comfort in thinking we know stuff. But the truths we know today will be proved false by tomorrow's science and common sense. I often wonder what it is that we are so confident in today that 100 years from now they'll find it odd that we ever believed? One hundred years from now will abortion be thought of as slavery is thought of today? Simply a denying of another's basic human rights out of convenience and selfish economic benefit?
I don't think we have any idea where God is going with this story. We like to think we do and thinking we do gives us less angst and worry and gives us an illusion of control and confidence. But, really, in our heart of hearts we know and the only confidence and assurance is trusting in God. All we know about the end of the story is God wins. Lord knows.
