Isn’t About “Figuring Him Out”….

The pursuit of God isn’t about “figuring Him out”, rather it’s about learning to trust Him when you can’t figure it out. When things don’t make sense, or when we “feel” a certain way, that’s when trusting in the One Who created us is the most necessary. Do we do it? The Bible tells us that God does everything for His Glory. That also means everything is done for our good. If it’s for our good, but it hurts, and we don’t understand, does it change it’s purpose? Does it change God? Just because we are confused and don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, does it mean we are to abandon that trust in Him? Things happen for reasons, and sometimes we may never know those reasons. This is when we especially need to cling to the hope that only God can give. It’s accomplished through trust. Life is full of uncertainties. We may never know “why” certain things happen. But the one thing we do know, or at least were taught to believe, is “all things happen for the good of those that love God (believe) and are called according to His purpose” (ROM 8:28). Do you trust Him? Really trust Him? Where do you go when things don’t make sense? Instead of looking for answers, put your trust in Him, and watch what happens. Your comfort will come in the uncertainty of knowing the “why” through your trust in what you know to be true.

13 He makes these things happen either to punish people or to show His unfailing love. Job 37:13
