Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
Life is a funny thing. No matter how hard we try, we will never figure it out completely.
We can be cruising through it, thinking everything is perfect and then, suddenly out of nowhere, we get blindsided and everything is turned upside down. And we have no idea why.
Or maybe nothing tragic or catastrophic has happened, but we’re just trying to find our way through and figure some things out. You know, just the normal everyday stuff.
Well, either way, whether we’re in the midst of a crisis or just working our way through everyday life, we need to know that we don’t always have to understand everything or have it all figured out.
God moves on our behalf in ways that we would never think of. He isn’t stuck in a box, even though we try to stuff Him in there most of the time.
When God moves, He does what He sees fit to do, not what we think He should do. And even if we might have a situation that’s similar to something we went through in the past, God won’t necessarily do the same thing to help us this time that He did last time.
So if things aren’t making sense to you, or if you need a solution to a problem you’re currently having, trust God to work it out for you. Untie His hands and let Him move on your behalf.
It can be hard to take our hands off of things when we’re in the middle of a situation or crisis. Our minds just naturally want to try to figure everything out. But let’s learn to trust God and not lean on our own understanding.
