Understanding

I'm having a very hard time understanding people and even God. Why do people make the choices they do? Why does God make the choices He does? The Bible has over 100 verses on understanding. Job talked about it alot. Maybe both people and God are beyond our understanding. I think for people, it is too easy to get wrapped up in sin. The "feel good" of the moment. One instant, one choice wrongly made, can change the course of forever. I'm not condemning. I'm talking about myself here. I'm certainly guilty. And God.......we can't even begin to fathom or understand His ways. His ways aren't our ways. Isa. 55:8-9 (That's a good thing, I know.) Maybe it boils down to trust. I don't think I will ever understand the meanness of this world. How someone can hurt a child. Kill the unborn. Persecute the innocent. Steal. Kill. Destroy. My understanding blames a lot of on the enemy, yet we all have free will to say no. Yet, even though I don't understand God all the time, I still trust Him. He has never ever let me down. That's why we can't just walk by faith. We must run with trust! Even when we don't understand.

Run With Trust by Natalie Lowe
Scripture ref. Psalm 143:8

I heard it said to walk by faith
Commit all your ways unto Him
But is that enough to face this world?
When everything seems dim…..

Faith is something hoped for
Taking a step in the right direction
But what if we were to run with trust?
From the paths of destruction.

Let the morning bring me word
of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul.

And I will run…I will run…..with trust.

Run with trust and keep the pace
Don’t give up, just finish the race
Run with trust from all the lies
Run with trust to get the prize.
Jesus…Jesus…help me run with trust.

Day after day, night after night
I wander aimlessly astray
I feel so lost again Lord….do I have this one right?
I want to go your way.

Your love Lord, always protects, and will never fail
It always hopes and perseveres
So if I will just run with trust
You will wipe away these tears

Let the morning bring me word
of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul.

And I will run…I will run…..with trust.

Run with trust and keep the pace
Don’t give up just finish the race
Run with trust from all the lies
Run with trust to get the prize.
Jesus…Jesus…help me run with trust.
