God's ways are not OUR ways. God's ways are not the WORLD'S ways. They are HIGHER. And that's why it's so important to not follow after the ways of this world. That's why is CRUCIAL that we not lean on our OWN understanding. As believers, we need to realize that God truly knows what's best for us. His plan is PERFECT. He has our best interest at heart. And it's with that understanding that we TRUST Him. We need to believe that He will work ALL things together for GOOD...for those who love Him and are the called according to HIS purpose.
