We thank you that many times, we know you are working despite us not understanding. May your Word go forth and accomplish your purpose in us. Lord, thank you for your will and your Word. God is good all the time, through the darkest night his light will shine, God is good, God is good, all the time.”
He put a song of praise in this heart of mine. In the meantime, we can praise him for his goodness, and think of all the ways he has come through for us in the past. The hard part is to be patient and let God work, rather than take a situation into our own hands. I was recently contemplating and praying over something and, in the midst of my concern, I heard the Lord comfort my spirit with the words, “You do your job and I’ll do mine!” Simple words, but a reminder to me not to stress over the situation that I could do little about. You can probably also see that sometimes the closed doors led to something better! You can probably look back on your life and see doors that were opened, as well as doors that were closed. He works in our hearts, through our friends and through open and closed doors. We can further know his will through a personal relationship with Jesus, his living Word! Finally, we seek his will through the Holy Spirit. How do we hear the voice of God? We can know his general will through his written Word, the Bible. When it says his ways are higher, it implies that they are better because he knows all things! God’s plans are then communicated through His words and they will do what He intends! His will is accomplished, so His words are not empty! As the rain and snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth…so is my word that goes out from my mouth it will not return to me empty. It is based on Isaiah 55:9, 11.Īs the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. So goes the verse of one of my favorite older praise songs. “Though I may not understand, all the plans He has for me, my life is in His hands, and through the eyes of faith I can clearly see: God is good all the time!”
