When you travel, you must trust the driver. No matter how crazy it seems to us, God’s way is always the best way. But the best way is not always the fastest, most efficient, and easiest way. In God’s eyes, however, the best way may be riding a horse and buggy. For example, if I’m traveling to Florida, I think flying is the best way. It’s important to mention, however, that God’s way may seem crazy. Because of this, you may feel like God is against you. Therefore, His way probably looks different than your way. If you’re following Jesus, it’s easy to formulate in your imagination what the road ahead looks like. When you know you’re going somewhere, it’s only natural to create the way in your mind. It’s hard for your brain to believe this. Why? Because it reminds me that God’s way is the best way. This is one of my favorite passages in the Bible. ‘For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts’” (Isa. God says, “‘For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,’ says the LORD. In fact, maybe you’re throwing a tantrum because God isn’t doing things your way.
And sometimes, we feel like He’s against us when things don’t go our way. They just knew what was best for you when you didn’t. It wasn’t that your parents were against you. Remember the tantrums you threw when your parents didn’t give you what you wanted? Maybe you wanted another cookie, but you weren’t wise enough to understand that eating another cookie would have made you sick.
If someone is really for us, he or she does what’s best for us, and that’s usually contrary to what we want. If someone is really for us, however, that’s certainly not the case. We expect those who are for us to support our every move and provide our every desire. Why, then, do we feel like God is against us? You may feel like God is against you, but that’s not what the Bible says: “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Rom. Do you ever feel like God is against you? I’m not talking about your wrong thoughts, actions, and intentions.
