I Don't Get It But I'm Glad I Got It
I Don’t Get It But I’m Glad I Got It
“I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: For thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities; And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: Thou hast set my feet in a large room.”
Psalm 31:7-8
Understanding something is like a very serious thing for me. I do not like being a part of some project or work that I do not understand it’s origins, workings, and purpose. You can take that into just about anything that I put my hands to. Whether it be a ministry opportunity or building something or repairing something mechanical. I feel a need to understand it to the best of my ability so that I am able to decide where to place my efforts and when. I am so glad that God understands everything...I mean everything.
Now, knowing that God understands everything has to be a fact for me, because He doesn’t want me to understand everything. Faith does not require my understanding but does require my efforts in obedience to the God who does understand. So, like David did when he penned this psalm under the influence of the Holy Spirit, I want to pray today and say, “Lord, Your mercy and grace are amazing! You see right where I am and often times that I am in the mess I am in because I failed in faith. You know this yet You did not give up on me and let Satan have me...no, instead you give me liberty to fall in my follow. I don’t get why You do it, but I am so glad you do!”
