Uncomprehensible & Unfathomable God PT1

That feeling when you want something so bad and someone tells you "trust God" bet it will sound like a foreign language (unrealistic), Especially when you have been praying for something with no solutions in view. Trusting God isn’t easy but nothing is better than it.

I'll tell you the story that inspired this write up. A friend of mine, I'll call her Joy for the sake of this article. Joy called me up about six months ago sounding really upset about a job she had been interviewing for that didn't work out. She wanted this job badly. She liked the pay and the job description. She worked really hard for the interviews and got to the very last stage of the interview. According to the HR Director, they had to make a difficult decision between she and another guy. She lost out for lack of technical experience. "The HR Manager likes me sha, she even sent me a message promising to contact me first should another opportunity open up" said Joy. I listened and told her that the job that is meant for her will come. I told her to trust God and accept the next best job and she did.

Fast forward to 3 weeks after starting another job she had to go in for a surgery. The office gladly granted her 3 weeks sick leave even though she had only been with them for 3 weeks. Her sick leave is over and she is almost fully recovered and a job alert for the same job and the same company that dropped her pops up on her phone. She emails the HR Director who eventually invites her to come over for another interview and Gbam!! she is offered the job. Does this make you think of anything? Let me break it down to you. First, Only a few companies will give you 3 weeks (eventually 1month) of sick leave when you haven't even been there a month. Her No, wasn't really a No, it was a "wait" from God. If she had gotten that job the first time, she perhaps wouldn't have gotten time off, to pay attention to her health. So God made this company deny her the job so she could take the second option; Make some money and get official time off. He broke her heart to bring her happiness. 

So you see? the ways of God baffle me. His wisdom is beyond any human comprehension. When we ask God for stuff and don't get it doesn't mean he hates us or has turned his back on us. He is denying us of one thing and getting ready to give us something better. If you ask God for something and the thing is good for you, have faith and be rest assured that he will give it to you. If he says no, best believe it is not good for you or he is simply saying wait. He says in Jeremiah 29:11-12 'for I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.' 12’ then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. Give it time and it will make sense.' 

Always remember that even though we do not understand the ways of the lord, we simply have to trust his will. He is a perfect and unfathomable God!
