The “Mystery Spot” in Santa Cruz is a tourist destination where millions of people have visited and have tried to figure out the reason for the earthly contortion which has confounded scientists for years because the laws of physics and gravity cease to exist.  Theories abound, but no one can really understand the reason for the phenomenon ….

Irene and I spoke again this morning about the complex mystery surrounding this journey …. one with lots of questions and one that neither one of us would have ever anticipated ….

Scripture is very clear that:

“A man (or woman’s) steps are directed by the Lord.  How can anyone understand his own way?” Proverbs 20:24

We do believe that God orders our days.  Our human nature, however, wants to KNOW, UNDERSTAND, and CONTROL the process and outcome of our lives.  Perhaps one of the reasons we behave this way is due to our own personal insecurities.  Our correct response, then, is to be recklessly SURRENDERED to Him, understanding that He is in control and has our best interest in mind.

We’re learning afresh that in many ways, life is a complex mystery.  We are commanded to simply TRUST and OBEY our Lord and Savior and look to scripture for encouragement and inspiration:

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge Him and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6

We are also confident of this, that the mystery, now shrouded in a veil, will be revealed to us when we see God face to face in eternity ….

Caminando con Fé
