Thoughts on Jesus Calling August 7th

We aren't meant to understand everything. God made us so that we wouldn't understand everything. It's just not how it works. "Understanding will never bring you Peace." We must trust God instead of trusting in our own ability to understand, because we have no ability to really understand. To humans, fully understanding or figuring something out equals success. When really, trusting God equals success. The world is just so full of problems. And you can get through some, but you only feel accomplished for a short amount of time because you are faced with a new problem shortly after tackling the previous one. You just keep going in a cycle. Problem -> searching for understanding -> struggle (-> maybe you make it through and solve it). But it really should be Problem-> take it to God, trust Him -> Peace, no worries, He takes care of it. 

Now which of those seems better? The second one sounds better to me. And it is better. It works. Trusting God gives us constant Peace. But we have to trust Him fully, not just half way. We have to trust Him with our entire being and heart, not just an arm or leg.

Proverbs 3:5-12 (MSG)

Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
   don't try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
   he's the one who will keep you on track.
Don't assume that you know it all.
   Run to God! Run from evil!
Your body will glow with health,
   your very bones will vibrate with life!
Honor God with everything you own;
   give him the first and the best.
Your barns will burst,
   your wine vats will brim over.
But don't, dear friend, resent God's discipline;
   don't sulk under his loving correction.
It's the child he loves that God corrects; 

   a father's delight is behind all this.
