Who Knows Better?

Is it possible that God knows better then I do or you do? I am sure you are sitting at your computer and thinking of course God knows better than I do, so why are you starting your blog with that question? Well then how about I ask a follow up question? How often do you act like you know better then God does? Now this one has got you thinking doesn’t it? We all in our life think we know better then God does at some point or another even though we will all admit that God knows better. Just imagine how often we are like the foolish builder from Matthew 7. The person who knew what God was saying but still went and built his house on sand. And then the storms came and washed away all the work that the man had tried to do without God.

The reason I am sitting here thinking about this is because I am not sure where I am heading in life. And I keep making back of plans that to be honest I am not seeking God on. Imagine how often we do that. We are not sure where God is leading us so we began to make excuses and back up plans because we do not trust that God will reveal his plan to us. We are scared of the mystery of God and the mystery that keeps us searching deeper into who he truly is. We do not like the unknown, and when we get to the unknown we try to run a different direction. But do we truly want to know everything? Would life be enjoyable if we knew exactly what would happen with our next step. Interesting thought.

So as I close this blog I want to encourage you that Gods plan will always, always, always be better then ours. And I promise you one thing and that is that his path will be perfect for those who are on it. I am not going to say it will be easy and I am not saying that when you seek out God that you won’t have to stop in your tracks and look around to see where exactly it is that God wants you to be. To often we make decisions without God. So when we begin to seek after him in every decision we may realize that God wants us in a different spot completely. Maybe a different school, or a different job, different line of work, anything. But again I promise Gods path will be so much better then the one we make for ourselves. Let us as Christians stop being like the foolish builder and begin to be like the wise builder and build upon the rock and the Rock is Christ.

I love you all
