How well do you know the ways of God? Many have concluded that the ways of God is “mysterious”, but I will say that the ways of God is glorious instead. No wonder after God parted the red sea through the staff He provided for Moses, the children of Israel wondered at the mighty and glorious ways of God (Exodus 15:11). Even Moses at some certain point in time desired to know the glorious ways of God (Exodus 33:13).

We were all created in the knowledge of God to know and live in His ways, but since the fall of man in the very beginning of the creation of the world, the ways and truth of God departed man because sin came into the world and the way of man became completely different from that of God (Isaiah 55:9).

God whose very nature is righteousness (Psalm 45:7), couldn’t condole sin and so man was eternally lost from God and was driven from the presence of God by God (Genesis 3:23-24).

In Isaiah 55:8, the Lord God made us understand that His ways is different from the ways of man.

Isaiah 55:8: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.”

The things that man regard highly may not be that which the Lord esteem highly also. Things that is being mocked and ignored by men can be esteemed highly by God who has chosen the “foolish things” of this world to confound the wise and the weakest things of the world to confound the things seen mighty in the sight of man (1 Corinthians 1:27; James 2:5).

God choosing the foolish things of the world to confound the wise means we are not to overlook little things or disregard anyone because of his or her status quo. God changes times and seasons and can turn the situation of anyone around within the twinkle of an eye and a short period of time (Daniel 2:21). A child born with voice impairment can by the grace of God outgrow the problem and become a great singer; a child born with a speech impairment mocked by friends and family can become a vibrant public speaker (Exodus 4:10-11). That is just how God works. His ways is glorious but He works in mysterious ways.

Despite man deviating from the ways of God and all hope to know the ways of God lost, the Lord God love man so much that He gave man a second chance to know His ways and the second chance is Jesus who is the way the truth and the life and with Jesus, through the help of the Holy Spirit, we can know and understand the ways of God once again because it’s the Holy Spirit that teaches us the ways of God and deep things concerning the Father and the Son ( John 15:26; 14:26).

To know and understand the ways of God, you can by prayer and suplication make the request to understand the ways of God known before Him who gives wisdom and understanding to all who ask (Philippians 4:6; Psalm 25:4; James 1:5).
