God's Ways Are Not Our Ways

My thoughts are not your thoughs, neither are your ways my ways. -Isaiah 55:8

I have discovered that God often seems unreasonable. What He chooses to do does not always make sense to us. It does not always fit into our balance of reason. We have a tendency to want things to make sense, but God wants us to learn to be led by our TRUST and not by our understanding. We should thank God that His ways are not our ways. My life would have turned out badly if God had given me my way in many situations. It is wise for us to pray, "Your will be done, Lord, not mine."

I often tell the Lord what I would like to have, but follow it up with, "However, if You know it is not right for me, please don't give it to me." His thoughts are above our thoughts. He sees the end from the beginning. All His ways are right and sure. In the natural we can think something make sense, but it may not be what God wants at all.

From Joyce Meyer

Follow-ups Questions.

1. Is there a recent event that had happened in your life, which you think is just unreasonable and illogistic how God is allowing it to happen?

2. What is your first reaction to it, and what do you think God would want you to react and handle it?

3. What do you think God is speaking to you about regarding this? (Perhaps something He wants you to learn about yourself, about other people, or about Him)

Take some time to write down your prayer to God, and ask Him for strength and guidance about this matter in your life.

Have a blessed day ahead!
