God’s Ways Are Perfect

We live in a troubled world and life doesn’t always play out like we would have hoped. Sometimes we blame God for not being there for us or working things out as we think they should be worked out.

When something happens in our lives that we don’t understand, we need to remember God’s ways are perfect.

“As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him." 2 Samuel 22:31

He doesn’t think like we think. In fact, he tells us in Isaiah 55:8-9 that his ways and even his thoughts are much higher than ours. Having faith in God would mean we believe that even though things look tangled up, God is able to untangle them.

When tragic things happen, putting faith in God means we believe, no matter how bad things look, that God will work them together for good. Romans 8:28.  When God says he will work all things for good, there is no exception. Too often, we look at what we are experiencing and cannot fathom how it will work out, but that’s exactly when we need to place that situation into our Father’s capable hands. They are the very hands that created the world, and we can rest, knowing that He has things under control.
