God's Dealings

God deals with us in a very personal and intimate way.

He knows our personality. How we think and how we react to difficulties and circumstances. He understand what brings us pleasure and joy. Most of all, He knows our hearts. That hidden place where both the ugly and beautiful things are tucked away from plain sight. Things we don't fully comprehend or want exposed.

When God points out a place in our heart that calls for us to surrender, we often resist. We say, it's not comfortable, it's embarrassing, too shameful or we are just too proud to admit it was there all the time.

It requires trust in God to let Him touch the deepest and sensitive areas of our lives. God never toys or plays with our lives but desires to restore, heal and deliver.

Psalms 139:13 says, "You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb." (NLT). God's not only our Creator but knows how to restore the most fragile parts of heart.

Beloved, when it comes to God's dealings, we may never fully understand why He does what He does but it will become evident in time. Trust Him. He has not abandoned you.

Just as you cannot understand the path of the wind or the mystery of a tiny baby growing in its mother's womb, so you cannot understand the activity of God, who does all things. (Ecclesiastes 11:5,NLT)
