Day 187 – Sometimes, it’s just because “I AM”.
Today’s Reading: Ecclesiastes 7 – 9
“then I saw all that God has done. No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite all their efforts to search it out, no one can discover its meaning. Even if the wise claim they know, they cannot really comprehend it.” Ecclesiastes 8:17
Switching from one suitcase to another, preparing to go from vacation to camp, realizing, your phone is in the bottom of Lake Somewhere, your children are dropped off at grandparents, your husband has been working all day, and all you have time for is packing, but all you want to do is spend quality and quiet time with the one you love.
Originally your plans all worked out, your days, every minute worked just right, everything in your head was just perfect, but then life doesn’t turn out how you thought. Now you want to know, “Why?” Then, as you move one clean shirt and 2 pairs of shoes from one bag to the other, you can hear your dear mom say, “Because I said so, that’s why.”
With God, sometimes, no matter how much we seek the answer to our Why, the final answer will be, “Because “I AM””.
God is the Great, I AM. His ways will always be beyond our understanding and greater than our belief. We need to trust His wisdom and follow His ways. His blueprint is laid out for us in “The Word”. He won’t lead us astray or take us for granted. He will show us exactly what we need to know and use us for His great plan.
I guess the reason I never question the things I don’t quite understand is because I trust the Man behind the answer. His answer makes everything clear to me in an oh so unclear way. It proves the Why without giving me visible proof. He only has to say “Because I AM”, and I only have to Have Faith!
“God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Say this to the people of Israel, “I AM has sent me to you.” Exodus 3:14
“Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” John 8:38
“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6
The next time you question remember the Why….Because I AM!
