Acts 1:7
7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

Jesus was preparing to ascend to heaven after His resurrection. It had been just over a month since He died and rose again. Even though HE had appeared to His disciples several times, it was still hard for them to grasp what was going on. As He was preparing to leave when He said something that is really profound in my opinion. He said “It is not for you to know the times or the seasons!” In other words trust me!

We all know that there are many times and many things that come into our lives that brings us to the point of not really understanding the why’s! We can’t see how good can come out of this or if anything good can! We go through hard times and hurtful times without ever seeing or understanding why. I think Jesus’ disciples were right here. They had left all to follow Him! They had experienced  much pain from following Jesus. Family and friends had left them and many asked “why and how could they trust this Jesus?” But it was in this same setting that Jesus said.. “it is not for you to know the times or the seasons!? What? Why won’t He just tell us what He’s doing and when He is planning on coming back? And the reason is simple yet hard… HE wants us to simply trust Him even when we can’t see what He is doing! He wants us to followHim even when we don’t’ know where HE leading!

As you head into this weekend, even though you don’t know what’s ahead know this! He is up ahead! He is with you and He is for you!

You are loved and YOU have been prayed for! Trent
