God-Sense v.s non-sense

If you are striving to have an intimate walk with Christ and develop your relationship with God, then probably at some point you've questioned some of the things that God has called you to do. Have you ever said, "you want me to do what Lord"? This is normal as God stretches our faith and challenges us to grow in Him. However, one of the reasons why we're apt to digress into this mode of Divine Interrogation is because we haven't learned to distinguish between God-Sense and non-sense. A lot of times, when God tells us to do something, it just doesn't make sense. But that doesn't necessarily mean that it's non-sense. We must learn to differentiate between the two.


What we must establish and learn to embrace is the fact that God's ways are not our ways and that God's thoughts are higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55). With this being the case, it would stand to reason that God's Eternal and Omniscient thought process is going to infinitely exceed ours. Therefore, we should come to expect that the things that God is calling us to do and the things for which He is leading us to are not going to register with our human and finite perspective. This has to become a given. Why? So that when God gives you a directive or commandment, you won't be "looking" for it to make sense. Believe it or not, this will reduce a lot of anxiety and stress in regards to the execution and manifestation of God's Divine Will for your life.


Once you've settled that what God is telling you doesn't make sense "to you", and that it is a given, then you will be challenged to move into the gear of faith. This is why the Bible says that without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11). If you're trying to serve God within the context of your logic and rationale, you're going to be frustrated and you're going to run out of steam. But once you understand that as finite humans we're just not going to "get" what God is doing, then you can move into faith mode.


Faith is the means by which we can appropriately relate to God and begin to perceive what He is doing. When we walk by faith and not by sight (2Corinthians 5), the Spirit begins to renew our minds and give us revelation that will register with our spirits. Once the activity and movement of God begins to register with our spirits, the Lord begins to settle it in our minds, and by faith, it begins to make sense.


There are some things that The Father is getting ready to release and manifest in the earth that, by all rational appearances, is not going to make sense. As believers in Christ, we can't afford to get bogged down in that type of unbelief. We have to make sure that we gird up our faith and are walking by God-sense, not non-sense.
