Don't Assume Anything

My life has too often runs in the cycle of me telling God what I need, me freaking out because I can’t possibly see how He could do it this time, Him providing for me above and beyond what I asked for, and finally me being shocked and amazed that I didn’t even see what was coming. Now you would think after all this time I would have just resigned to the fact that God will supply my needs beyond my understanding or comprehension. I think too many times I tell God my problems expecting Him to say, “Wow I didn’t expect this one, I mean I made the entire universe, but this car problem whew that may be a tough one.”

I too often put God inside my concept of reality, when in all actuality God is so much more than anything our minds can wrap around. Too many times, I tend to glaze over the spiritual part of God, I require Him to be only in my physical world. The truth is our lives are not just what we can see, feel, touch, taste, smell, or even describe with words.

We are spiritual beings created by Someone who we can’t physically experience with our senses, so why do we so often expect God to do things only we can understand.

I can’t count the amount of times I am shocked when God does something I didn’t see coming, and scared when I can’t see how it all is going to work out. Why? Why do I forget that God is so much more than my senses or reason?

I think it is because it is more comfortable for me to put things in the world’s perspective than to think that God is doing things all around me that I can’t see. It isn’t comfortable trusting in Someone who I have never seen, but the truth is I can rest in the knowledge that my God is good. He will never stop shocking and amazing me because He will never stop providing for me and you or loving me and you in ways we cannot see or imagine.
