Isaiah 55:8 “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.”
It’s great when we have instant answers to prayers but I’m sure we’ve all known times when we’ve prayed and it’s taking so long we’re tempted to ask the inevitable question Why? Where are the answers I’m believing for?
At some point we all have to come to that place of trusting God and saying ‘I don’t understand why things are the way they are, but I trust You. I know You love me and I still believe Your word is true and that You will do what You have said You will do. I believe You’re working behind the scenes and You have angels on the job. I believe You’re turning all things together for good for those who love You.’
We all tend to like to be in control of our own lives and think we know when and how God should answer our prayers! But He’s waiting for us to reach that place of being willing to surrender our plans for His, our way of thinking, and our way of making it work out, for His way.
It’s easy trusting God when things are going well, but we find out where we’re really at when things go wrong and our faith is put to the test. It’s when we need to grab hold of God’s word and say ‘God I’m just going to let you do it in Your time and how You want to do it, because You know what’s round the corner, You know the end from the beginning and You only want the best for me and so I trust You.’
The good news is God is working in all of us to strengthen us and help us do the right thing, helping us to be strong in our faith in Him. It’s not all on us, it’s all by His grace and it’s more than enough for each and every day.😊 Thank You Lord.
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all of your heart; do not lean on your own understanding.
