My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. (James 1:2-8)
Trials and testings . . .all seem to be a part of the end of the school year for students, teachers, and parents! What will my final G.P.A. be? Will I be promoted? Will I be accepted? Can we afford college? Will the scholarships come through? Will we really be in a classroom? When will we know the answers?
Guess what? God knows all the answers to these questions and more . . . all we can do is our part and then trust Him to work things out . . . according to His timing and His will. (Jeremiah 29:11). Things just may not work out according to our plans. However, God's plans are always best, as we will see as we wait upon the Lord. (Isaiah 40:31)
I know it's tough waiting and not taking action. I have learned from experience that it is better to wait then to hastily decide and then regret it.
