| Trusting God In Bewilderment by Kathleen Shore |
| “ . . . and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be accomplished…” But they understood none of these things . . . Luke 18:31, 34 NASB |

As I reflected again on ‘Trust In The Lord’ I was flooded with a lifetime of remembrances dating clear back to my earliest childhood memories. They were sufferings… filled with God’s divine purpose. – The miracle story of my physical birth – The death of my earthly father – Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis Just to name a few… |
| Then a quiet whisper came like a gentle breeze, “Understanding will never bring you peace. That’s why I have instructed you to trust in Me, not in your understanding… “As I waited in silence for God to bring His light into my thoughts, I began to recognize that along the way of my journey, in order to be a manifestation of our Lord Jesus I had to be changed into His likeness, with ever increasing glory. |
| And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light. Matthew17:2NASB |

| My greatest hour of empowerment came in His moments of transforming me through suffering, just like my Lord. They were my mount of transfiguration! |

I repent of resisting Your fulfillment for my life because my eyes were fixed on my circumstance. I see where I have leaned on my own understanding. I fix my eyes on You now. I give myself back into Your trustworthy arms of love for me. You are my desire. May my life declare that You are enough. In Jesus name… |
