| God Understands/His Ways Are Higher |

Today I studied about how God often works in ways we don't understand.
Key Scriptures: Luke 5:1-11; 1Corinthians 1:18-31; Isaiah 55:8-9
I was truly spoken to through today's lesson in which I have been deeply been convicted about how He wants me to surrender more of my life to Him. What scares me, & has caused me to hold back in some areas is just how He does things so differently than I ever have.Often times His ways don't make human sense at all, sometimes, throughout my walk with God, this is how I knew something was of Him. What I mean is, it may be a situation or an area that with out it being His will, it would have definitely failed, because it was so unreasonable, or at the time seemed impossible.His power far exceeds my best efforts! His plans & thoughts in my life is, & has been so much higher than my own. I believe He is preparing me for something so much more than I could ever imagine, I even have an idea of what that is. However even now I look & see how it just seems impossible in my current situation involving what I have always thought was my destiny of becoming a nurse. It is my prayer that each of you, as well as myself, Lord knows I am really struggling with surrendering all. That we would just press on, that we would desire, & learn to just trust in our Father, even more when we just don't understand what He is doing. That we would just trust in Him, submit to Him first & not rush into things without really asking Him to take control. Over the past year I have definitely been through times when I totally did not see what He was doing at all. Times when I questioned is this worth it, but through it all He has increased my faith & REALLY caused me to grow. Had He revealed the whole picture to me at one time, & what it would cost me, I don't know that I would have been obedient to follow Him to the measure I have. The even sadder thing is I would not have seen certain end results that I now understand, that while in the midst of deep sanctification, God just removing from my life as well as the lives of my children things that were not suppose to be there, this was painful. Funny thing is that during the whole time I had peace that you would not believe, & I have learned to be content in what situation I am in. He is worth it, & at all cost. I can't be trusted on my own! His ideas & plans for my life is much higher than my own. His ideas & plans for yours are as well, I pray that both you & I will press on, just continue to trust Him more for what we don't see or understand. Know that He is the God that commands the thunder, that walks into the storehouses of snow, & when we are obedient & walking in His Will. We are covered by Him! Press on! |
