When Jesus announced that he was going away, everyone was speculating as to why he was leaving and where he could possibly going. Some thought he was going to the Country of Greece (John 7:35). Others speculated that he was going to commit suicide (John 8:22).
When things happen that we are not expecting or things do not turn out the way we think they should, we also are prone to speculate about God’s involvement. Perhaps we would be wiser to simply hold steady and wait to see what happens.
It often is not easy to have faith, but it is the way of peace (Philippians 4:6-7).
