Trusting God’s Guidance Even When It Doesn’t Make Sense

FLOYD ROGERS

God offers guidance to those who seek it. When we ask Him for direction, it’s important that we follow what He reveals, even if it doesn’t immediately make sense to us. Often, people hesitate because they can’t fully understand God’s plan. In those moments, they may be tempted to choose what seems easier or more appealing to them. However, relying on human judgement over God’s wisdom leads us off course.

God’s word reminds us that He understanding far exceeds our own. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”

The Bible is the source of light for those seeking direction. If we want the truth, we need to listen carefully to God through His Word and obey, setting aside personal feelings or opinions.

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and [a]without reproach, and it will be given to him. But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.

James 1:5-6
