A Daily Devotional

About when God says "No" in His understanding:

Job 36:26 How great is God--beyond our understanding! (NIV)

God understands us better than we can understand ourselves. God's understanding extends into the future. God can see what will happen to us in all our tomorrows. God sometimes tells us "No" because God understands where we need to be in the future. We cannot see what will happen to us tomorrow. We cannot even see what will happen to us in the next hour. We are blind to future events but God is not. God sometimes tells us "No" to help us be in the right place at the right time, all for His glory. God sometimes tells us "No" because God understands how we can glorify His name in every circumstance, even when we do not understand what is going on. God needs us to understand how even when we are in the stinking darkness of life, we are to always be God's purveyor of love in the darkness. If you will open your heart to God when God says you cannot have what you want, He will bless you, keep you, and share His wisdom with you. In your heart, when God says "No," you will come to understand He tells you "No" because He loves you. As you come to accept God's "No" answer in humility, you will come to understand His love surpasses all human understanding.
