Trusting God Behind the Scenes
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord." - Isaiah 55:8
Have you ever felt like you needed to know what God was doing in your life, almost like you were His project manager, checking in to make sure things were going according to plan? It’s tempting to want to track His progress and understand each step He’s taking, especially when life feels uncertain.
But the truth is, God doesn’t need us to monitor His work. He’s not bound by our timeline, our expectations, or our understanding. He is always working, often in ways we can’t see and wouldn’t expect.
God tells us that His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are greater than our thoughts. There are things He’s doing behind the scenes that, even if He showed them to us, we wouldn’t fully grasp. Sometimes we think that if we could just understand His process, it would be easier to trust Him. But that’s not faith. Faith is trusting that God knows what He’s doing, even when we can’t see it.
Think about it, God’s been working in your life long before you even knew it. He’s not a step-by-step builder who needs us to check in on His progress. He’s the master architect who sees the entire plan, the finished product, while we often only see the construction zone. Just because you don’t understand what’s happening in this season doesn’t mean God isn’t laying the foundation for something amazing.
Your job is not to keep up with every move He makes but to trust that He is leading you exactly where you need to be. Maybe He’s teaching you something through this process. Maybe He’s moving pieces into place that you don’t even know exist yet. Whatever it is, you don’t have to figure it all out.
Let God work. Let Him be in charge of the details, and trust that He will lead you to the right place, at the right time. When the time is right, He will reveal exactly what you need to know. Until then, rest in the fact that God is always working, even when you don’t see it. Your role is to trust Him, not to manage Him.
