“God’s ways are as hard to discern as the pathways of the wind, and as mysterious as a tiny baby being formed in a mother’s womb” (Ecclesiastes 1:5 NLT).
As I ponder a mental list of all I’m thankful for, topping it all would be as King Solomon describes in today’s verse.
I’m so glad God doesn’t think like I think. I’m very thankful He doesn’t do for me exactly, and in every circumstance, just what I’ve asked Him to do. I’m grateful that I don’t always see Him at work; then I am blessed beyond measure to see what He’s done.
I’m ecstatic to know the how’s, why’s, when’s and where’s of life are safe in His hands—my planner and myself are really not required.
As I begin this Thanksgiving week, I’m most thankful for the fact that God’s ways are mysterious and glorious. What about you?
