Trust to learn God's mysteries

Greetings:

The mysteries of the way God works are just that. They are a mystery to us, but a mystery worth looking into or investigating through studying his Holy Word.

For whatever his reasons, God has chosen to keep many things a mystery to us.

I guess some things of God are simply on a 'need to know' basis.

In Proverbs 3:5 (NIV), it says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”

I like the words of Proverbs 3:4-5 in the Living Bible, which reads: “If you want favor with both God and man, and a reputation for good judgment and common sense, then trust the Lord completely; don’t ever trust yourself.”
  Until we know the answers, we need to keep looking, praying and asking for God's wisdom and discernment.

We have to believe beyond our ability to understand how our problems can be solved.

God has revealed many great and wonderful truths in His Word, but He has also withheld the meaning of many things. In many respects, it seems almost as if there are more things we don't understand than we do when it comes to whys and wherefores of the way God operates.

It must be remembered that God knows everything and thus He knows every detail regarding our lives, our bodies, our hearts and our minds. God knows what we have done with every minute of our lives. He knows the times we have trusted Him totally and the times we have drifted off to do our own thing.

There is nothing about us that is a mystery to God.

The mystery comes in us understanding what and how God thinks about us and our situations.

I take comfort in the words of Psalm 37:4-7 (NIV), which says, “Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do Gthis: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him...”

If there is one thing Jesus taught us it is that great patience and understanding must be manifested when dealing with people and their situations.

Jesus did not heal every person he met. Jesus did not tenderly allow every sinner to wash His feet. Jesus did not come to the defense of every person taken in the sin they were trapped in. Jesus looked at each person and each situation individually and dealt with them accordingly.

We must remember that God loves us not because we are healthy, wealthy or wise. God loves us because we are his children.

God is a God of great compassion and is always eager and willing to help us through difficult times.

God looks at our heart and he knows the battles we are facing. God will never judge or condemn us if we keep giving to him our challenges and keep trusting in him to take care of us.

Be blessed.
