God Knows Best Even When We Don't Understand

Sometimes a young child does not understand what a loving parent is doing and the young child might even interpret the parent’s actions as mean or cruel (for instance a doctor’s visit that involves a shot).  The truth is that the parent knows much more than the child and, frankly, the child doesn’t even know enough to realize how much he/she doesn’t know.

This can happen with our interpretation of God’s ways.  The gap between what God knows and understands (which is literally everything) and what we know and understand (which is extremely limited) is vast.  So, there may be times when we simply cannot comprehend why things are happening.  And God’s ways may seem to be unkind.

Be assured that God loves us and that He knows what’s best even when it is hard for us to understand.

God Is In Charge And He Knows What's Best

It is extremely irritating and offensive to our human pride to recognize that God is running the universe and that He does not require our input in order to run things properly.  That’s why it’s helpful to realize that He genuinely cares about us and He knows what is best for us.

God's Work In Us Is Always Intentional And Purposeful

God knows everything about us.  He knows us better than we know ourselves.  When God allows us to experience struggles and difficulties He does so with a complete knowledge of which character traits in us need to be developed.  God’s work in us is not always easy, in fact, it can be extremely challenging and painful.  But His work in us is never random.  He is always intentional and purposeful and He is always right.

God Cares And God Knows So Keep Praying


There are some issues that I have prayed about for a long time and sometimes I think, “When, God?” Or, “Are you listening?”  Someone might be inclined to tell me, “Forget it.  Give up.  You’re wasting your time.”  But I trust that God cares about me and I trust that He knows.  So, I believe that I should keep praying.
