"My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts," says the LORD. "And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. Isaiah 55:8
"Blessed are they that keep His testimonies, and that seek Him with the whole
heart." Psalm 119:2
For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their craftiness," and again, "The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile." 1 Corinthians 3:19-20

When I lost everything a few years ago and found out that I had to move back in with my dad, I was devastated. I thought my life was over. For years I repeated that moving back home made the top five of the worst things that could ever happen to me. I tried everything not to go back, but God loves me too much to have let me missed out on the opportunity that would come with living at my father's house again. Looking back now, it was the best time ever. I got to know my father and I rediscovered God's mercy and goodness. The experience also brought me humility (something I desperately needed) as well as compassion for those in needs. God certainly knew best. Abraham and his wife conceived a son in their old age when everyone thought it would be impossible but God knew best. He later thought he would have to sacrifice his son, but God knew best. The king thought Daniel would die in the Lion's den but God knew best. I cannot wait to experience and witness what miracles God has in store for you and I. He certainly knows best.
People seem to forget that Christianity is a lifestyle. We must live according to God's instructions. Have you ever thought that if you lived according to God's laws that you were going to somehow miss out on fun? Truth is if you don't live according to God's laws you're going to miss out on something greater that fun! God's laws are for your well-being. God wants you to live the abundant life. You may not understand His plan but you can trust Him. God loves you. Every time God says "Thou shalt not," God is only saying, " Hey watch out! Don't hurt yourself. " And every time God says, "Thou shalt," God is saying, " Hey enjoy! Help yourself to happiness." God has a good plan for your life. Would you please trust Him?
Friend, you can rest easy. God is watching over you. This situation you are facing will soon be resolved. Trust that God knows better than you, rely on His might and live a life of peace.
Father how grateful I am for your love! Thank you for allowing me to know you for who you are. You are a good father who only wants good for me. Help me trust you more and more each day. In Jesus holy name I pray. Amen.
Praise the Lord!
