How Do You Trust God When Nothing Makes Sense?<\/strong><\/span> is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

What If You\u2019re Judging God\u2019s Plan Too Soon?<\/p>\n

In Micah 4:6\u201313,<\/strong> God gives His people an incredible promise of restoration but then tells them that suffering, exile, and Babylon are still ahead.<\/p>\n

The promise was real.
\nThe pain was real too.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So what do you do when what God has promised seems completely different from what you\u2019re experiencing?<\/p>\n

In Episode 304, we finish Micah chapter 4<\/strong> and discover a powerful truth about trusting God in seasons we cannot understand.<\/p>\n

Micah tells us that God will gather the broken and the outcast. He will restore what appears beyond repair. He even names Babylon more than a century before Jerusalem would eventually fall and then makes an extraordinary promise: \u201cThere the LORD will redeem you.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The place Israel would have chosen to avoid became part of the story through which God would eventually bring redemption.<\/p>\n

Then Micah gives us another crucial reminder: \u201cThey do not know the thoughts of the LORD, nor do they understand His counsel.\u201d Micah 4:12<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes we look at what is happening around us and assume we understand the whole story.
\nA prayer goes unanswered.
\nA door unexpectedly closes.
\nSomething we believed God was leading us toward falls apart.
\nThe road becomes harder instead of easier.<\/p>\n

And we wonder: Where is God in this?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Micah reminds us that we should never judge the entire story by the chapter we\u2019re currently living in.<\/p>\n

Faith doesn\u2019t mean we always understand what God is doing. It means we have come to know the One we\u2019re trusting.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The deeper question may not always be: \u201cGod, why is this happening?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\r\nWhat If You\u2019re Judging God\u2019s Plan Too Soon?
\r\n
\r\nIn Micah 4:6\u201313,<\/strong> God gives His people an incredible promise of restoration but then tells them that suffering, exile, and Babylon are still ahead.
\r\n
\r\nThe promise was real.
\r\nThe pain was real too.<\/strong>
\r\n
\r\nSo what do you do when what God has promised seems completely different from what you\u2019re experiencing?
\r\n
\r\nIn Episode 304, we finish Micah chapter 4<\/strong> and discover a powerful truth about trusting God in seasons we cannot understand.
\r\n
\r\nMicah tells us that God will gather the broken and the outcast. He will restore what appears beyond repair. He even names Babylon more than a century before Jerusalem would eventually fall and then makes an extraordinary promise: \u201cThere the LORD will redeem you.\u201d<\/strong>
\r\n
\r\nThe place Israel would have chosen to avoid became part of the story through which God would eventually bring redemption.
\r\n
\r\nThen Micah gives us another crucial reminder: \u201cThey do not know the thoughts of the LORD, nor do they understand His counsel.\u201d Micah 4:12<\/strong>
\r\n
\r\nSometimes we look at what is happening around us and assume we understand the whole story.
\r\nA prayer goes unanswered.
\r\nA door unexpectedly closes.
\r\nSomething we believed God was leading us toward falls apart.
\r\nThe road becomes harder instead of easier.
\r\n
\r\nAnd we wonder: Where is God in this?<\/strong>
\r\n
\r\nMicah reminds us that we should never judge the entire story by the chapter we\u2019re currently living in.
\r\n
\r\nFaith doesn\u2019t mean we always understand what God is doing. It means we have come to know the One we\u2019re trusting.<\/strong>
\r\n
\r\nThe deeper question may not always be: \u201cGod, why is this happening?\u201d<\/strong>
\r\n
\r\nIt may be: \u201cJesus, will I continue walking with You even when I cannot see where You\u2019re taking me?\u201d<\/strong>
