– Trusting that what God says is best even when it doesn’t make sense to me –
God is the creator of the entire universe and everything in it. He knows how we work, what we were made to do, and what brings us real satisfaction. He knows everything so it makes sense that His wisdom is really the true wisdom that we need in order to know what is right or wrong. He knows the right thing to do or say in any and every situation. God wants to help us make right decisions and to become wise people.
If you accept that God’s wisdom is greater, then you will not try to figure out what is right on your own or based on how you feel. There is great hope and joy in knowing that God can help you with all the wisdom you need!
“For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.“ – 1 Corinthians 1:25 (ESV)
