Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV)
There will be times in life when we might forget that God knows better than “our minds” or our “hearts.” There may be an issue that careens across our road during our travels that just doesn’t coincide with “our plans.” We might say, “Nope I don’t want to do that.” But the problem with this kind of thinking is that “God is out of the equation.” There can be no good in going off the road of “His will” — it might be a temporary fix, but it’s just a bandaid. God is the actual Creator of “bandaids” and so we should go directly to the source. He is the one that will be able to bring us to our full potential in all things that matter.
A wedding took place recently and the mother of the Bride was infinitely worried about her daughter. She wrestled with a myriad of emotions that fielded through her vision as to where she wanted her daughter to be. There were many valid reasons for her uneasiness, but still after praying and asking “why” –she realized she had to give her to God. He knows the plans He has for this young lady. Things don’t make sense from where the mother is standing, nor does it make sense for other family members and close friends…but for some reason—that only God knows—it’s happened.
The mother is distraught that the daughter moved to the middle of the USA, and so far from where her roots are. And, now the young lady is pregnant, and although the mother is thirlled about the news…she became even more distraught that she’ll hardly ever see the grandchild. But, God will find a way for all of them in this.
She is bending and surrendering to God, and trusting He knows what’s best for this child that was “promised and dedicated to the Lord” as an infant, even more so…while in her womb. We will have to sit back and pray, and know He is in control. This is one of those times where the “heart” is saying something else…but God knows best. And, so time will tell if this is God’s plans or not. For now…she must simply trust God.
There will be times when we will face things that just don’t make sense. But, while in our flesh bodies, our comprehension is far below that of God’s. We can’t see what He sees, nor do we know what He knows…but we can ask for the wisdom to realize that it is His will and not ours that counts. We must correlate to His time schedule, and not ours. We must recognize that He has only the best things in mind for us….nothing will give Him more joy than pleasing us.
We must trust in God even when everything else is screaming, “No this can’t be!” But, He formed us, and knew us before we were in our mother’s wombs. He— our marvelous Creator— knows our thoughts, our minds, our hearts. He knows our very composition in terms of DNA, and the amount of hairs on our head. So, why shouldn’t we give it all to Him, and bow to the King of kings that knows what’s best for us, at all times. There will be times when He will allow things to happen, to bring us closer to Him while forming roots of faith in the process.
It might take awhile for us to figure it out, or see His plans come into fruition for our benefit. Or, we might not ever figure it out. But one thing for sure…He knows what’s best, so trust Him and only Him. Remember that the next time you question, “Why?”–

13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. (Psalms 139:13-17 KJV)

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. (Jeremiah 1:5 KJV)
