“Understand This Most Of All”
Deuteronomy 7:9 NLT
Understand, therefore, that the Lord your God is indeed God. He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commands.
There are a lot of things in life that I don’t understand and cannot wrap my mind around to even begin to comprehend. Some things I wish I did know and other things I know a lot about. There are some things that I have taken great interest through the years to read up on and come to understand better. Then there are other things that I find totally boring and don’t care to learn more about at all.
There are some things in life that I wish I understood better and some things that I really don’t care to know more about for one reason or another. Some people make it a point to educate me on things they think I need to know. Some of those situations I really appreciate while others I just take with a grain of salt.
Out of all the things I don’t understand and wish I could, I am very thankful to know that I understand God is an amazing God and He is more faithful than I’ll ever know. I don’t have to know all there is to know and I never will. No one can fully understand Him. It comforts me to know that I don’t have to know everything to be at peace in Him.
I often find myself becoming frustrated at things in life that I cannot understand and I feel like everyone else is “getting it” but me. Satan knows this is a weak point in my life and he drives it hard with me often. My wife often has to remind me this is not the case and there are many people who don’t understand a lot of things.
While there are so many things in life we don’t understand, especially this year with so many crazy things happening with the pandemic, we can rest assured to know that God is indeed a great and amazing God and He’s in control. He indeed lavishes His love upon us each and every day. Just knowing that He leads us and guides us should be a wonderful comfort for us.
I want to encourage all of us to stop trying to understand everything that happens in life and rest in the fact that while we can’t understand so many things, we can understand that God is indeed Who He says He is and that He will always be our great Provider.
May we all be blessed in the coming days, weeks, months and years knowing He will continue to be faithful and loving to us all!
