We’ll see.

One of the newest episodes of Bluey helps Bluey Heeler process her family’s pending move to a new city. I won’t give away the ending, but I can take the message from her story to heart.

When one of Bluey’s classmates asks their teacher, Calypso, about why stories always have happy endings, Calypso reads a different type of story to the class. This story leaves the class without a happy ending and does not give closure. There are loose ends. It simply ends with, “We’ll see.”

How often are we, in the real world, left with loose ends? 

The fact is that we do not know how each day will go. If we did, I’m certain we would choose to avoid the worst days, experiences, and heartaches. But one thing we can know that my favorite cartoon dogs may not, is the Creator of the world.

We cannot know how life will change, but we can know the One who knows all things, including our innermost thoughts. 

You have searched me, Lord,

    and you know me.

You know when I sit and when I rise;

    you perceive my thoughts from afar.

You discern my going out and my lying down;

    you are familiar with all my ways.

Before a word is on my tongue

    you, Lord, know it completely.

You hem me in behind and before,

    and you lay your hand upon me.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,

    too lofty for me to attain. Psalm 139:1-6

We can know God created each one of us.

For you created my inmost being;

    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

    your works are wonderful,

    I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from you

    when I was made in the secret place,

    when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.

Your eyes saw my unformed body;

    all the days ordained for me were written in your book

    before one of them came to be.

How precious to me are your thoughts,[a] God!

    How vast is the sum of them!

Were I to count them,

    they would outnumber the grains of sand—

    when I awake, I am still with you. Psalm 139:13-18

And we can know with certainty that the God who created you AND knows your innermost being, also holds tomorrow. 

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also put eternity in their hearts, but no one can discover the work God has done from beginning to end. Ecclesiastes 3:11

Not knowing what is coming stresses me out. But I have loose ends that may never be tied nicely like a package. I experience uncertainty and concern for those around me every day. I can control how I react to the world, but you know what, friend? 

I cannot control my world. You cannot control your world. 

But I can choose to trust the One who not only created me, but who created every possible uncertainty of the world. He knows my name. He knows your name. He knows whether there will ever be a cure for cancer. He knows what will happen when friends move away. He knows how your church’s new pastor will be received. He knows how each and every one of us will eventually pass away. And most importantly, He knows who will come to know Him. 

So, friend, let me challenge you to seek God. Seek the Creator of the world who cares for even your small, trivial issues. He cares because you care. And when your focus needs to be adjusted, God will guide you back to Him. 

Therefore don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:34

Bluey found her sense of closure by learning to find peace in the unknown. 

I choose to find peace by trusting God.

After all, we’ll see, but God knows.
