Who's Line is it Anyway

I've heard that God has a plan for me and all of us. I can understand that since He can create an entire universe, it should be pretty easy for Him do make things happen within it with His creation. One thing I am struggling to understand is why He doesn't tell us what the plan is. Why am I doing this job? Why do I have the relationships I have? Where is all this leading? Like in our song, Seasons, "If I could see the journey's end life would be so easy."

However, the song continues with, But would I need faith?" God doesn't tell us what is going to happen or what we see as outcomes like getting a new job, moving to a new location or relationships failing. It's almost like we are on the show Who's Line is it Anyway. They play a game where they have somebody, usually that Canadian guy Colin, stand in front of a green screen and act like a reporter. Then the other cast members ask him questions about the scene behind him while he trys to figure out what the scene is. Sometimes that is the way I feel. Why God do you want me to move away from my hometown? Why am I in a job where I don't feel qualified? Where are you leading me?

The place it is leading is the glorification of God. That's all the hope I need.

John
