Hindsight

"Life has to be lived forwards but it can only be understood backwards."
- Søren Kierkegaard

    "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 (NIV)
    "Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding?" Job 12:12 (NIV)
Hindsight

If we could walk backwards through life, so many times of doubt and questioning would be erased from our path. But we would have also missed those desperate moments of trusting in the Lord, and clinging to Him for guidance.
