3/27/25 What If God is Bigger?

Takeaway: Accepting that God’s ways are beyond our understanding.

Opening Prayer

Heavenly Father, as I come into this time of devotion, I open my heart to You. Your ways are higher than mine, and Your wisdom is beyond my understanding. Help me to trust You, even when I don’t have all the answers. Speak to me through Your Word and strengthen my faith. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Reflection

There are times in life when we desperately try to understand what God is doing. We ask why suffering happens, why prayers seem to go unanswered, or why His timing feels so different from ours. In those moments, we can find ourselves frustrated, longing for clarity, and even doubting God’s plan.

But what if God is bigger than we imagine? What if His wisdom is beyond our grasp, not because He is distant, but because His understanding is infinitely greater than ours? Isaiah 55:8-9 reminds us that God’s ways are not just different from ours—they are higher. His perspective extends beyond our limited view, and what seems confusing or painful now may one day be revealed as part of His perfect plan.

Think of a child who doesn’t understand why a loving parent says “no” to something they want. From their limited perspective, the answer may seem unfair, but the parent sees the bigger picture. In the same way, God sees what we cannot. He knows the depths of our pain, and the struggles of our hearts. Yet, He calls us to trust Him—not because we understand everything, but because we believe He is good.

Instead of demanding answers, we trust? What if, instead of wrestling for control, we rested in the truth that God is wiser, greater, and more loving than we could ever comprehend? Faith is not about figuring God out; it’s about surrendering to the One who already knows the way.

Question

What is one area in your life where you struggle to understand God’s plan?

Application

• Surrender Control in Prayer. When you face uncertainty, instead of demanding answers, practice surrender.

•Reflect on Past Faithfulness. Recall times when you didn’t understand God’s plan but later saw His wisdom.

• Choose Trust Over Worry. The next time you feel overwhelmed by uncertainty, make a conscious decision to trust God instead of worrying.

Closing Prayer

Lord, I confess that I often want to understand everything You are doing. But today, I choose to trust You, even when life doesn’t make sense. Help me to rest in the truth that Your ways are higher, and Your wisdom is perfect. Give me faith to believe that You are working all things together for good. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
