When You Don't Understand: Trust Anyway | Ecclesiastes 11:5

Welcome to The Daily, where we go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. I want to give a shout-out to Mike Olson from Mexico, Florida, and Minnesota. Some of you don't know this, but Mike is one of those guys who pushed me over the edge about 12 years ago to start doing what I am doing today. We met for breakfast, and he said, "There is no better time than the present to take the leap." This devotional is for you today Mike. Today, we’re looking at Ecclesiastes 11:5: As you do not know the way the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything. — Ecclesiastes 11:5 There are things we just can’t explain. The mystery of life forming in the womb is one of them. Even with modern science, some things remain hidden—sacred, intricate, and beyond full comprehension—like the impartation of the soul and spirit. That’s the example Solomon gives. If we can’t even grasp how life begins inside the body, how much less can we expect to grasp the work of God in the world around us? This verse reminds us: we’re limited. God is not. And yet, we still try to figure him out. We analyze, we predict, we try to map out what He’s doing and when. But the God who makes everything doesn’t always give explanations. He calls us to trust. Faith means walking forward without all the answers. It’s releasing control. It’s obeying even when you don’t see the full picture. This can be frustrating for those of us who crave clarity, but it’s also freeing—because it puts the weight of the outcome on Him, not us. There’s nothing wrong with asking questions or seeking wisdom. But we have to be okay with mystery. We need to live with quiet confidence in the One who understands what we never will. God is always working. Even when we can’t see it. Even when we don’t get it. Even when it feels like nothing’s happening. So the question isn’t, “Do I understand what God is doing?” The question is, “Will I trust Him anyway?” Thanks, Mike, for thrusting me to trust God anyway. #TrustGodAnyway, #FaithOverUnderstanding, #Ecclesiastes115 ASK THIS: Where do I feel confused about what God is doing right now? Why do I crave control more than trust at times? What’s one situation I can release to God today? How can I grow in confidence when I don’t have clarity? DO THIS: Release your need to understand everything and choose to trust God's unseen work today. PRAY THIS: God, I confess that I often want answers more than I want You. Help me rest in the mystery and trust Your unseen work. Amen. PLAY THIS: Trust In God.
