Trust Him

Something more than you are aware of is going on.  God is always doing more than you or anyone else can see or know.  So, what are you supposed to do?

Considering John 12:12-16 - Trust Him.

God has a Plan.
Jesus rides into Jerusalem. 
Zechariah prophesied this 500 years earlier!
God knew when the time was right.
So rest easy, God is faithful.

It might be different than you expect.
The people thought their king had arrived at long last!
But, Jesus came to die, not to rule an earthly kingdom.
Remember Lazarius has been raised from the dead that week.
God had shown a sign, Jesus was the one!

Its okay to be clueless.
The disciples were clueless as to what was going on that day!
The people welcoming Jesus into Jerusalem were clueless as well!
Just because we do not understand, does not mean we need to.
Trust God that He knows what He is doing.
Trust now.
Hindsight is only possible later.

Wait for it; then Go!
With God it is all about timing.
Jesus turned down all opportunities for popularity or political appeal.
But, now is the moment.
It is Passover, the perfect time to draw the Rabbis against Him.....

Jesus' last week is a fascinating study in God, His motives, His timings and how you can see victory when all physical evidence points in exactly the opposite direction.
