Who Really Doesn’t Make Sense

By Roxanne Lee

God calls us to be obedient. But there are many times when He asks to do something that just doesn’t make sense. Like those times when we barely have enough and He tells us to give. Then there are those times when we treasure something dearly, but He tells us to let go. How about those times when we are when we are uncertain of what lies ahead, but yet He tells us to move forward. My favorite is when it is God who is telling us to wait, but we are the ones who want to advance. We would rather disobey, because we think that His command goes against what we think is common sense.

But think about it. God is ever present and all knowing. He is faithful. He is good. He never fails. He is our provider. He is our creator. He knows what is best. Most importantly, He loves us. If God is all these and more, when He tells us to obey and we don’t, who really doesn’t make sense?
