How does sticking one's foot
under the back bumper of an SUV make the tailgate open like on the TV
commercial? How does the car know it’s
the owners foot? What if the owner bought new shoes? What if one had just
driven on a dusty road or drove through mud and snow? What if a cat walked
under the bumper. This is a mystery to me. (I know I could Google it, but that
knowledge could take the fun out of a good mystery).
The Bible speaks of several
mysteries, i.e. the mystery of the gospel, the mystery of the rapture and other
mysteries. Some things are difficult for
me to understand. I can accept them, but
still don't understand them.
The mystery of God's will is
mentioned in the verse below. This is
difficult for me to discern at times. God has used different ways through the
years: the Word of God, wise counsel from Godly people, closing and opening
doors (circumstances), answered prayer, affirmation through clarity of a
fleece.
God expects us to follow His will
regardless of the naysayers. God has used Parkinson's in my life to make some
serious changes. He continues to use it
to redirect. I don't know what God has in store for my future, it is a mystery.
I just simply need to trust.
"Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to
his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself" Ephesians 1:9.
