"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding." –Proverbs 3:5
The Father is teaching me more and more that sometimes we really don't need to have understanding.
Looking back on certain moments in my life, I can remember asking the Lord "WHY?"
"Why is this happening, God?"
"Why do You want me to do that?"
"Why can't things be like -this-?"
Why, why, why.
When really, the only thing He was asking me to understand in those times was His sovereignty.
All I needed to know was that HIS plan is far better than my own.
All I needed to recognize was that He is my DADDY, and He loves me; He cares for me, and His plans for me are PERFECT, because HE is perfect.
I'm learning more and more not to question Him and His ways.
I don't need to know why He does certain things and doesn't do other things.
I don't need to know why He asks me to do seemingly insane, and borderline impossible, tasks.
Because the Truth of the matter is—HE is my strength, and I don't do any of these things on my own accord anyways!
So, I listen and obey…
not because I necessarily understand WHY He wants me to do something, but because He is my Father.
And because He is my Father, I DELIGHT in doing His will.
Being a part of His plan is WORTH abandoning my own.
HE is worth it.
And He is FAITHFUL to the very end.
