“Human wisdom is so tinny, so impotent, next to the seeming absurdity of God. Human strength can’t begin to compete with God’s ‘weakness.’” (1 Corinthians 1:25 MSG)
I must confess that I often question God’s plans. Sometimes, neither His methods nor His timing makes any sense to me! Why do good people suffer? Why does evil exist? Why aren’t prayers answered immediately? Why can’t we all hear directly from God?
From our human perspective, God may seem inefficient, nonsensical, and unpredictable. However, our lack of comprehension cannot diminish God. In our ignorance, we imagine that our plans are wiser, that our concern for our loved ones is stronger, and that our timing is more effective. Yet, human strength and wisdom are shallow and inconsequential compared to that of God’s. Thus, all our exertion, striving, and strategizing is immaterial. Trusting in God is more sensible than trusting in our puny abilities.
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5 NLT)
