Following God

Most of us understand that we don't know everything, but we may think we know more than we really do. The problem is, we don't know what's best. God only knows what's best because only God is supremely good. The Lord reminds us of this in Isaiah 55: 8-9,

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts."

This means that what God wants isn't always what we want, but it should be because it's always what's best. In ALL things, God works for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28), so we must seek Him for what is always best.
