What has God done in your past that you especially can look to as evidence of his presence with you? What “stream in the desert” is bubbling up for you now? (Serendipity Bible 10th Anniversary Edition, pp 1019-20).
God
blesses me in two principal ways—he places me in locations that he
chooses to best serve his purposes and he puts people in my life that
are immeasurable blessings. His wisdom in all this far surpasses
anything that I—with all too human judgment and desires—could
possibly reach on my own. For all too often, what I think is the
best for me is the worst possible and that which I want to avoid
turns out to be the source of boundless blessings. God's relentless
pursuit of my best interest in spite of stormy admixtures of worldly
passions and prolonged periods of muddy rainy weather have brought me
at last to the realization that it is not for me to understand but
simply to do—to do his will according to my best lights and
exercise as much as possible a childlike trust.
