To judge our own situation as a circumstance that is meant to stretch us, to expose things within us, to dust under some things, to face things we didn’t before, to reopen wounds that did not heal but festered, to feel that pain again is not a punishment, but a necessary process to get the infection out to be healed, none of these causes anything like being separated from the Father’s love or goodness, nor does it represent Him forsaking us. Instead, it shows how much He loves us to show us to us so that healing can occur, the hinderances are removed so we become a better us, that we grow closer to the Father. The moment we put our feelings, and reasoning ahead of what the Father intended proves the need to break the walls down, to create circumstances or rather use the ones we ultimately choose, to be used for our own good so that we can see what we need to change, how we can be better in Him. To claim it as a belief or ideal that we should not be challenged is not the word of God. Because we “feel” like God is doing too much, and our mind gets a little voice that hints to “God doesn’t allow this” and we come to a conclusion within our own thought process that it’s not of God because it makes us feel bad or goes against our belief or ideal based on how we feel and think, then it is missed, the purpose and then there is misdirection. Too many of us have come to a place that has called this process God, when in reality and actuality it is us who have put ourselves before God.
Get over yourself and recognize the way you are putting your own flesh, your own limited thinking ahead of the Father, who He is, and how He is. He is limitless, quit trying to figure out and cage what can never be. You simply prove how little you are when you attempt this. Let your mind be blown, let it be known that you do not know how or what may come next, let yourself realize that the Father’s thoughts and ways are so much higher than ours and we cannot know them, we cannot understand them, but we trust that they are His ways. Know your place, or it will be made known for your own good.
“Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is” I Corinthians 3:13.
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith” Romans 12:2-3.
“For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts” Isaiah 55:9.
“The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low” Isaiah 2:11-12.
