Fuzzy Logic: Understanding God’s Ways.

While driving about twenty miles from my home, the sky darkened and rain began to cover the windshield of my car. As I reached for the wipers, I remembered that I’d let the cat out before leaving the house. Not only does my cat hate the rain, she is terrified of thunder.

Even though I was too far away to let the cat in, it wasn’t a problem thanks to cell phones. I called my daughter and told her to go outside and find Fuzzy. She went out, found Fuzzy, and brought her inside long before the storm reached our house. She then called back to tell me that Fuzzy was safe.

I breathed a sigh of relief knowing that Fuzzy was inside and being comforted by my daughter whenever it thundered. As I hung up the phone the Lord began to impress something on my heart. Little did I know that what had just taken place was not only meant to keep Fuzzy from getting caught in the storm, it was to teach me an important lesson about faith.

I began to realize that even though I was far away from Fuzzy, I still had the ability to take care of her. I could see the storm heading toward our home and was able to get Fuzzy inside before it hit by calling my daughter on the phone.

Now, Fuzzy doesn’t know what a cell phone is or how one works. Nor would it be possible to explain to Fuzzy how I called my daughter from twenty miles away and had her brought inside before it started raining. The reason Fuzzy can’t understand this is because her brain is about the size of a peanut. It is simply impossible for me to communicate with a cat they way I do with other human beings. You see, my ways are higher than her ways.

Nevertheless, Fuzzy and I do have the ability to communicate. She comes when I call her, she lets me know when she is hungry or wants to go outside, etc. And even though Fuzzy doesn’t understand things the way I do, she is smart enough to know that I love her. Fuzzy doesn’t have to understand cell phones, cars or human conversation, all she has to know is who takes care of her.

In the same way, I can no more understand God’s ways, than Fuzzy can comprehend how a cell phone works. I’m no different than Fuzzy. I too must love and trust a being who is superior to my way of thinking. Fuzzy loves me and trust me to take care of her, even though she doesn’t understand all of my ways. Likewise, I must trust Christ to take care of me even when I don’t understand His ways or see all the things He is doing.

Therefore, we don’t have to understand everything; we just have to trust in Christ. God works in ways that we can’t even begin to imagine. I’m thankful that He is wiser than we are and that He is responsible for meeting all of our needs. I am thankful that He is a good Father to us all and that He will continue to provide for us daily, even if we don’t understand how. I pray for all of us that our faith in Christ will greatly increase!

“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:9

You are the one God loves!
