READ: PROVERBS
8:1-15
Human
reasoning can never fathom the depths of the Almighty. No matter what you know;
God’s ways are past finding out. If you base your decisions on human reasoning
you will miss out on the will of God. If you want to receive divine blessings
you must follow divine guidance. You cannot figure out God with your little
brain. Stop trying to imagine how miracles would happen. The ways of God are
not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:5-9). He performs
miracles in a manner that baffles human ingenuity. God works in mysterious
ways. When human beings say there is no way, the Almighty God comes up with
thousands. If you are wondering how God will bring out your miracle you might
get confused. Miracles defy logic. Miracles are God’s business. Do not try to
teach Him His business. Do not be like Naaman who described how he thought God
would heal him through Elisha. I do not want to know how God intends to solve
my problem; all I want is a breakthrough. It is not my duty to help God. The
Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 1:25 that the foolishness of God is wiser than
the wisdom of men. The wisest of us cannot come anywhere near whatever we may
call the foolishness of God. The ways of God are beyond comprehension. The ways
of God are contrary to the ways of men. For example, the Bible says we should
give so as to receive. This does not make any sense but it is the way of God.
Proverbs 11:24-25 says when you scatter you will increase and if you withhold,
you will diminish. In Matthew 23:11-12, Jesus Christ said if you want to be the
greatest you must be the servant of all. We generally believe that it is the
great one that should be served by all. This is however not the way of God.
God’s method will always run in sharp contrast to human reasoning. Your
expectations may appear unfulfilled today but you do not know how God will
bestow your needed miracles on you. Do not rely on your wisdom. Let God have
His way in your life. He will not fail you. At the end you will discover that
God’s ways are the best.
MEMORIZE:
JOHN 14:1 –Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in
Me.
