Trust Him


From: Joe Gibbs Ministries
Isaiah 55:8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways, says the Lord."
The sports world knows how to tell who's been successful at accomplishing what they set out to do. You can spot the champion by the title they hold.
But God doesn't work that way. Titles, ranking, and position are not His barometers of success for us, nor should they be of ours. God has His own reasons for letting some taste the rewards of success and letting others continue to battle from beneath the pile.
God may allow someone to earn a promotion, not because they are by far the most qualified, but because this person has a weakness for power that needs exposing and correcting. God may allow a person to be overlooked at work, not because they don't possess what it takes to advance, but to make them better prepared for a greater opportunity down the line.
With God, the possibilities are always endless. Trust Him!
