It is so obvious that God works and thinks on a
totally different level than we do. I have spent
most of my life in my left logical side of my
brain trying to figure out God, people, events and
reason. Only to be left frustrated, irritated and
emotionally dehydrated.
What makes it most
interesting is, we look back and the flow of our
lives makes perfect sense and in God's perfect
timing. The question is, "Is it possible to live
in a state of mind where we just go with God's
flow, without trying to grab hold and figure life
out our way? The Bible says it is. "The ways of
God are without fault. The Lord's words are pure.
He is a shield to those who trust him." Psalm
18:30.
I love inner tubing down a river. You have no
control of what direction you face, the current
sets your pace and you are directed by nature's
obstacles through the water. While you have
absolutely no say in your destiny down the river
there is such a comfort sitting on that tube
floating on top of the waves feeling that powerful
body of water underneath you.
A question I ask myself is, "Why do I even think I
need to understand God's ways?" Do we think our
ways are better? Sure we do at times. Do we need
to think about how we are going to get down that
river the most effective way on that tube?
Absolutely not. We just know in our hearts if we
stay on that tube(word of God) we will have a fun
and interesting ride down the river and eventually
get taken to where we want to go.
When we finally get to the point where we fully
comprehend and ACCEPT the fact that God's ways are
not our ways, and our plans are not better than
God's, we tend to enjoy the river of life more and
look forward to the journey ahead without
uncertainty.
There's a chance God is working in your life above
water or in the currents below right this very
second. Do you need to fully understand what he is
doing? Probably not! Grab that inner tube, get on
top alongside God(study the word) hold on in
trust and let the river of his Holy Spirit give
you a ride of a lifetime this week.
And what's even more fun is taking someone with
you!
