Question of the Day: How do we know we can trust Jesus to write our story?
Read about It
Read: Isaiah 46:9–10
Have you ever written a story for school or maybe just for fun? As a writer, you have to think about how the events in the story will happen from the beginning to the end. You have to think through every detail of every character and know exactly what’s going to happen. No one wants to read a boring story either, so you should be sure to include lots of adventure. Sometimes it’s fun and exciting, and other times, you get to see a character work through challenges and come out stronger in the end.
Jesus wants to be the Author of our story by directing our life. He knows the whole story of the world from the beginning to the end. He knows every choice we will make and every detail of our life. Sometimes Jesus wants us to act in faith and do something new and exciting that we hadn’t planned on. Other times, He allows unexpected things to happen that are challenging. But, we can trust Jesus as the Author of our life knowing that He wants what’s best for us. He’s the best one to be writing our story.
