An observation about the Psalms that ask “why?” and “how long O Lord?” – these are legitimate questions resulting from not knowing. Why are enemies attacking? How long will this continue? When will you look on us with favor? etc.

2/ They ask these questions but what they resist doing is taking out their unsurety on others. They don’t bombard their fellow brother or sister with frustrated remarks, angry tirades, or passive aggressive complaints.

3/ They take their unsurety to the Lord. Sometimes they get resolution, other times they’re left in the unsurety of their situation. But whether they get an immediate answer or are left in their wondering, they don’t treat others with disdain and they look to the Lord with trust,

4/ knowing that though they’re unsure of their situation they’re not unsure of the Lord.
Maybe as unsettling as it is to experience unsurety, it might be the place where we need to be in order to rely on the Lord, to trust his ways,

5/ and to be reminded that we’re not always called to “know” but are always called to be faithful.
Just a thought…
