Finding Peace When God's Ways Don't Make Sense
I’ve got to be honest, the last few weeks have been the most frustrating weeks I can recall in a long time. It’s been a never ending barrage of gut shot after gut shot. Trying to carry the burden of others and taking care of my own at the same time. I’m sure you’ve been there, we all have. So, I decided to dig into this over the weekend and I thought I’d share some of it this week. It’s helping me deal with it and maybe you can take something from it too. You see, let’s take Paul for example. Paul accomplished many cool things for God. He walked in faith, obedience, and trust in the Lord. Yet, he too experienced frustration...God allowed a thorn in the flesh, a great source of suffering, to afflict him.But I guess the real question is, “why?”...right? And when this question remains with no answer in sight, it may be accompanied by an inability to understand and frustration.“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.”Isaiah 55:8 His thoughts are not ours...God doesn’t think, and thus doesn’t act, like we would. So, if God proceeds in a way you don’t understand...well, it’s because He ain’t like us. Dig?What if part of the solution was hidden in simply accepting the frustration, telling ourselves that God knows better than we do and is always acting in our best interest? Easy right? Not for me...but I’m trying.It’s easy to say but much harder to actually live out. However, I believe nonetheless that living in Christ does not mean remaining a prisoner to frustration. It’s possible for us to relinquish it into the hands of the Man so that we can go through every situation with His peace.Be Nice, Grace Wins
