AUGUST 11 QUESTIONING GOD
Isaiah 40:10 “Who is able to advise the Spirit of the Lord? Who knows enough to be his teacher or counselor?”
The answer to the above question is…no one. It is a good verse to remember when we find ourselves trying to tell God how to do things or how to answer our prayers. What is your area of expertise? Are you a computer whiz, a scientist, a parent, or Olympic medal winner? Maybe you are an auto mechanic or a bank teller. Interestingly enough, everything you need to know for practicing your specialty was know by the One who created the world in which you live. In light of that, I wonder if God smiles when we try to advise Him? Trust is a big word. It means giving up the right to have it my way and living my life with the confidence that God knows what he is doing. Trust can overcome our doubts and impatience, assuring us of God’s wisdom and perseverance on our behalf. Don’t try to advise God, trust Him.
Father, praise you for being wise and creative beyond my understanding. Teach me to trust you in all circumstances. In Jesus Name.
