Keep Walking

“I don’t think the way you think. The way you work isn’t the way I work.” God’s Decree. “For as 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. Just as rain and snow descend from the skies and don’t go back until they’ve watered the earth, Doing their work of making things grow and blossom, producing seed for farmers and food for the hungry, 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. They’ll complete the assignment I gave them.” Isaiah 55:8‭-‬11 MSG

I was reminded today of how big God’s thoughts are. Comparatively speaking, we think much smaller then He does.

While He’s speaking universes into existence, we’re talking about houses and jobs. His provision is on a global scale, while we’re thinking about what to make for dinner.

When will He be enough for us? When will we stop thinking small and accept that we are His children, created in His image and likeness? That we’re not a mistake. Everything and everyone have plans and purposes that we can’t comprehend.

He indeed knows the plans He has for us. He doesn’t, however, have to share those plans with us. I’m pretty sure that human nature would screw those plans up. That’s why He wants our trust. He wants our surrender. With Him in the lead and us being satisfied to stay in the passenger seat, enjoying the ride.

I know it’s frustrating not to know. I understand the uncertainty that comes with walking in the dark. But understand this, He is the light, and in Him is no shadow. So step out of the forrest and into the light of His presence. Be thankful that He knows and all will be clear someday.

Let that be enough for you. Take a deep breath and place your hand in His and keep walking.
