Are You Allowing Things That Confuse You To Cause You To Be Unhappy, Disappointed, and Worried or Are You Keeping Your Hope and Expectation In God?

What's upsetting you?   Did God not say that He would take the foolish things of this world to confound the wise.   The word confound means to amaze and astonish.   It means to cause someone to be surprised by acting against what they expect.  We have to start expecting God to use those things which seem foolish to us.    

When someone is upset, they are unhappy, disappointed, and worried.   Being upset usually comes when things don't happen the way you expect them to.   We have to change our expectation.   Expectation is based on hope.   We have to always let our hope be based in God.   When our hope is based in God, we know that He knows all things.   We know that He has a plan.   We know that He will work everything in our lives together for our good.    We know that He sees beyond our peripheral vision into the unseen.   God sees our past, our present, and our future.   Nothing is hidden from Him.

Understand, God is still God.   He is not limited by time, space, or power.    We have to trust that He knows what is best for us even when we are confused by what is going on in our lives.   We have to trust that He is using our lives as a testimony of goodness, grace, love, and mercy.    

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION1 Corinthians 1:27
King James Version (KJV)
But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
