STOP TRYING TO SECOND-GUESS GOD Are you doing what you believe to be Gods will, yet things arent working out like you expected? God has a different perspective--a better one. Its okay to question Him, but not to doubt and second-guess Him. In His Word He says, My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways. When God told Moses he was going to deliver the Israelites from Egypt, Moses was all for it. But things didnt go the way he anticipated because Pharaoh made their lives harder for a while. So instead of becoming a hero, Moses lived through a season of being criticised and misunderstood. Later, when some other things didnt turn out as Moses expected, he got discouraged and complained, Lord, I did what You told me to do. How come Im not getting the results I prayed for? (Exodus 5:22). Moses didnt understand the results of his obedience, because God didnt tell him exactly how things would turn out. Usually our frustrations have little to do with what God does or doesnt do, and everything to do with our mistaken ideas about what we think He should do. When you assume, or try to analyse God, you always end up frustrated. Jesus told His disciples, You dont really know what I am doing, but later you will understand (John 13:7 CEV). Its only in looking back that you see how the Lord has led you. He is the best at what He does and His track record proves it. So trust God and stop trying to second-guess Him. Good Morning, have a wonderful week ahead!
