Trust His Heart

Then Job replied to the Lord: “I know that you can do anything, and no one can stop you. You asked, ‘Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorance?’

It is I—and I was talking about things I knew nothing about, things far too wonderful for me.

Job 42:1-3 

Typically, we find it easier to thank God when He does what we want, but more difficult when He does not. Ask the authors who wrote books with titles like, Disappointment with God, Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People. Or ask Job. He had a good life, a prosperous farm, and a happy family. Then he lost it all, including his own health. He had questions, many of them, that he addressed to God. But instead of answering Job’s questions, God had His own questions He asked Job. Ultimately, Job found his satisfaction in God. What did he learn?

Joseph, the engaged to be husband of Mary, surely had questions when he learned of Mary’s pregnancy. But, instead of seeking those answers, Jospeh patterned his life on the lesson learned by Job: When you cannot see God’s hand, trust His heart. And Jesus patterned this theme for us to follow. When he was in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prayed, ““Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me.” Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.” (Luke 22:42) Jesus accepted God’s will to be done in his life, because Jesus trusted God’s heart.

Cynthia Clawson has a beautiful song with this theme, and I’ve included part of it below. You will be blessed if you look it up on YouTube or your music app.

My Takeaway:

God is too wise to be mistaken

God is too good to be unkind

So when you don't understand

When don't see his plan

When you can't trace his hand

Trust His Heart

(Selah is a word that appears in the Book of Psalms that I often use as the Complimentary Closing in my correspondence. Its meaning, as I use the word, is to pause and think about these things.)
