***Audio Version For Paid members: It Won’t Make Sense Audio 436
So often when you are looking for solutions and looking for ways to get through certain situations, we turn to logic, we turn to traditional wisdom, we turn to therapeutic solutions, and we turn to understanding because we want to see things work out.
We want to see things line up where we desire to see them all work out in a way that blesses God, in a way that pleases Him, and in a way that shows people that we are the light on the hill. And this is all well. It all makes sense when we’re operating in what we know and when we’re operating in solutions that we can understand.
When A equals A, and step by step you can walk things out, and they work out in the name of Jesus, you just know it’s going to work. But, what happens when it doesn’t make sense? What happens when a solution God gives you doesn’t look like it lines up? It doesn’t even look like it’s from God. It looks like it doesn’t make sense, so maybe it’s not the path to go on. So we logically follow the journey that makes sense.
We get married, we go to college, we get our degrees, we, you know, follow a certain pathway in our careers, we have our five-year plans, we have things set in the home a certain way, we know it’s all going to work out. All of this is logical. All of this is human. All of this is how we handle our day, but there are some problems that you can’t logic your way out of.
The stage for your faith
There are some situations that require more than just your own understanding. These things give you the opportunity to come before the King of Glory and pray. These situations that we can’t always figure out on our own become the blessing for our faith. They become the opportunity for us to lean in and trust God.
We see an example of this with Ruth and Orpah. When they are in Ruth 1, and they’re determining which way they should go… if they should go back to Moab or go forward with Naomi. Naomi does everything in her heart to tell them to go find new husbands and go back to their home. Naomi feels as if she’s unqualified.
Naomi is operating in deep grief. She’s operating in the bitterness where she said, Don’t call me Naomi, call me Mara. She’s saying go back. Very logical argument from Naomi to just go and do the thing that makes sense.
