| Yesterday Afternoon's Bible Study |
"God is always working on our behalf. His plans are always what is best for us. But what happens when we can't see His plans -- will we still trust Him?
God never changes, but the same is not true of us. Our circumstances sometimes change hour by hour and even minute by minute. There are times when we can't see a way out or see how anything will get better. But we are incapable of seeing what God sees. We have to trust that He is on our side and will provide a way.
Our circumstances may not feel peaceful. Some situations may take years for us to see a peaceful result. This afternoon's verse in Isaiah reminds us to set our minds on God. As long as we can only see everything around us, we can't fully trust Him. It requires putting all of our heart, mind, focus, and strength in God.
When our minds are flooded with fear and doubt, we can ask God to give us His perfect peace as we trust Him -- and we must trust Him. Otherwise, we are expecting the result of peace without the action of putting our faith in God.
We should give thanks to God for what He will do, even if we don't see Him doing anything. He is always at work.
It can be easy to feel like everything is spiraling out of control, but that is the exact moment we should put our hope in God. We were never meant to be in control in the first place. We can freely hand control over to God. Nothing is too big for Him, and no situation is too hard or complicated for Him to figure out.
