Good or bad, God always knows what’s best for us.
Most perceive “God’s best” as only good happy things in life. But what we fail to realize is some of life’s hardest lessons are actually God’s best for us. It’s usually those lessons that force us to surrender to His will. To give up our stubbornness and pride. It forces us to change for the better —whether we like it or not— and isn’t that a ‘good’ thing?
The more we want things done ‘our’ way, the more we lose sight of God, and the tighter the grip on our ‘good’ thing becomes. We forget God’s way is the best way and our self-reliant side takes control. If we truly believed God’s best, we would be at peace and rest at all times. There wouldn’t be a fight against ‘the best’ that’s happening in our life because our trust is in Him.
My friend, we need to get to the peaceful place of trust and surrender. You have to convince yourself, like Job, that God knows exactly what He’s doing and everything is under His control. For “God knows every step I take. And when He tests me, I will come out as pure as gold.” (Job 23:10)
There is nothing to fear or control in your world when you KNOW God’s best is BEST for you. God makes no mistakes. So walk in peace, rest in your loving Father’s hand, and Trust His plan!
