God knows the complete story, so ask Him!

“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the LORD. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. (Isa. 55:8 NLT)

We are limited

 Have you ever watched one of those old TV gameshows where the excited moderator tells the contestant to choose one of two doors, behind which are prizes? One is worth a lot of money, such as a brand-new car or a fancy vacation to some exotic destination, and the other is a gag prize, such as a goat or an electric doorknob polisher. It’s a complete guessing game, and the clueless contestant has no way of knowing what’s behind each door. It’s a tense moment of nervous anticipation as everyone waits for them to choose and then to see the reveal.

In a sense, this is how life is

You live your life day by day, not knowing what's ahead of you; sometimes you encounter positive events and other times the opposite. In the movie, Forest Gump, he famously said, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get!” The entire movie was about his choices and where they directed him.

You have a great advantage!

God has all the information you lack! He understands what's ahead of you and what the best choices are for you to make! His understanding is way above yours! And the best part is that you can ask Him for guidance.  

“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” (James 1:5)

Therefore 

“For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.” (Isa. 55:9 ESV)

“Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths.” (Psalm 25:4)
