When it doesn't make sense

Sometimes where God leads us does not make sense. 

He will never lead us to sin and will ALWAYS lead us in accordance with Scripture and in all righteousness, but honestly, sometimes where He leads doesn't make sense to us until we look back in hindsight. Here are just a few instances where what God said, or did didn't make sense.

• Abraham - told he would have a child when he and his wife were passed child bearing age. Not medically possible, yet he did.

• That Peter could walk on water to Jesus. This defies the law of gravity. Yet, while Peter had faith, he did.

• That King David's descendants would rule on the throne FOREVER. No one family rules forever. Yet, Christ descended from David and does rule forever.

• That through the work of 12 men, the gospel message would be spread throughout the whole earth. A dozen men would change the world forever?? Yet, by the Spirit working through them they did.

• Some of the New Testament's most powerful epistles were written by Paul from a prison cell. This would have thrown many for a loop, thinking, "God, how can I witness for you NOW that I am incarcerated?? I thought you called me to do great things for you. What now?" 

 Yet Ephesians, Philippians and Colossians were written from a cell and have reached far more people than if Paul had given personal testimony just to those he saw and not written these letters.

          

So, next time God leads you to take a step that doesn't make sense, just remember, it makes perfect sense to Him that created all things!

Col 1:16-17  For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. (KJV)

Ecc 8:4 Since the word of the king is authoritative, who will say to him, "What are you doing?" (NASB)

Psalm 135:6 Whatever the LORD pleases, He does, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps. (NASB)
