God’s ways are amazing. The Bible says He has incredible plans for those who love Him, plans beyond our imagination. This is why we need the wisdom of God in our lives.
First Corinthians 2:9 says:
“That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, ‘No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.’”
1 Corinthians 2:9
It’s okay to feel a little lost.
We can’t always control things, but trusting God’s love brings peace. Remember a time when He answered your prayers unexpectedly, yet perfectly?
The Bible tells us God’s thoughts are far above ours. We can’t understand everything, but that’s alright. Trust the Holy Spirit’s guidance.
Isaiah 55:8-9 says: “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.”
Sometimes we overthink things. The Apostle Paul emphasizes God’s revelation through the Holy Spirit. Simply accept that God is God, and you are not. His ways are beyond your imagination.
Lord God, Your ways are definitely not my ways. And I’m so thankful that You are in charge. If I did things the way I thought they ought to be done, I’d be in worse shape than before. Thank You for Your Spirit, who guides me and gives me Your wisdom. I am dependent on You. Thank You for leading me into all truth. I offer and pray this in the name of Jesus, amen.
