“Have you never heard?  Have you never understood?  The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth.  He never grows weak or weary.  No one can measure the depths of His understanding.”  Isaiah 40:28

God knows what He is doing.

God has whispered this sweet truth into my ear during every conversation.  As people shared their struggles and their victories with me, I repeated the phrase over and over again, “God knows what He’s doing.” A marriage crumbling, but a minor accident brought them back together; a woman laid off from her 10+ year job at just the right time for God to reveal His dream for her life; a woman persevering in an extremely toxic work environment, clinging to hope that God would show up in her work place, and He did.

God knows what He is doing.

Death which brought healing and unity to a family; a team of missionaries going halfway around the world just in time to bring help and hope to many people who were displaced due to monsoon and flooding; a family who lost their home, but gained salvation through perseverance in their circumstances; two friends living parallel lives for 12 years until their paths crossed again as they dealt with similar crisis at the same time.

God knows what He is doing.

It’s hard for us to see God’s plan especially when we are in the middle of crisis. If we look at our issues from a worldly perspective, our perception becomes flawed and sort of, one dimensional. We want peace and we want it now.  Sometimes when we cannot see the big picture, we miss the point.  We must remember that God always has a plan; better than anything we could ever put into place.  We must remember to be patient and wait for Him to work. Peace always comes when we get out of God’s way.

We can then give Him all the glory resting in that truth.

God knows what He is doing.

Peace be with you.
