Words of Isaiah the prophet ring true today: "For the sky soars high above earth, so the way I work surpasses the way you work, and the way I think is beyond the way you think......So will the words that come out of my mouth not come back empty-handed. They'll do the work I sent them to do." (Is.55:9,11)
Old Testament stuff, maybe, but I've made enough mistakes to know that this stuff is true. I don't care to count the many times I thought I knew better than God, had all the information I needed, and if God saw things my way there would be victory.
My, oh my! I am so-o-o sl-o-ow to learn. I have often been confused why God allowed some act or did something else beyond my understanding. Then when time has elapsed I can look back and see how the work God did had become fruitful. And I have to admit, I do not think like God, either. But I can see God's goodness in a situation long after it has passed.
My own words witness my need to trust God; the Father knows best. I also need to pray that God will bring to my mind the reminder that it's not my job to be in control. The Father's in control and He knows best. My Dad's smarter than your dad! Na,ne,na,ne.na.na! Who's your Daddy?
