Read these words in Isaiah 55:6-10, “Seek the LORD while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
All we have to do is read the Bible to understand and know that God doesn’t work the way we as humans would plan and work things. Look at the nation of Israel, crossing over the Red Sea on dry ground? Marching around the city of Jericho playing trumpets? Look at David, going up against Goliath with a slingshot and some stones? And look at the Son of GOD, willingly giving Himself to DIE on the cross for OUR sins!?
NO, God DOES NOT work the way we would work, and the sooner we learn that and learn to trust Him completely, the better we will be able to find true peace and joy on this journey. Remember, Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.” We CAN’T understand God. Our feeble human brains are not capable of knowing the mind and plans and workings of Almighty God, and we drive ourselves to discouragement, anxiety, and depression by trying to figure Him out.
The solution is to simply learn to trust, obey, do what He commands, and watch Him work out HIS plan in our lives!
