Isaiah 55:8-9 "'For My
thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,' says the Lord. 'As
high as the heavens are above the earth, so high are My ways above your ways,
and My thoughts above your thoughts.'"
Have you ever stood and watched an artist paint a picture? He starts putting his colors on a canvas. He’s just splashing on the colors, mixing this one and that. And we say, "He’s so good—how does he do that?" Then suddenly he’ll dip his brush in some colors and go swoosh! across the canvas. We say, "Oh, you ruined it! You’ve really messed up." Then a few more strokes and suddenly it just comes together. It’s a masterpiece!
We treat God the same way. As God puts His colors on the canvas, we look and say, "Lord, you’re really doing well." Then all of a sudden God goes swoosh. "Lord! You’ve messed things up! How did You let this happen?" Have you ever felt that way? We all have!
And just because things are not making sense to you, do not think that God is just looking around "scratching His head." He's omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent! He is our sovereign Lord. "Be still and know that I am God!" (Psalm 46:10)
