God is counterintuitive. Human logic does not seem to direct His actions and decisions. The obvious choice apparently isn’t.
“For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.” Matthew 16:25
Like turning into the skid or playing dead with a bear, it doesn’t make sense at first.
“Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all.” ” Mark 9:35
Logic does not apply precisely because it is human logic. Our logic is limited to our minds and the world we see around us. We are not equal to God, so we cannot think the way He does.
“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
So, the next time you’re telling God, “I don’t get it! I don’t understand what Your plan is!” Don’t be surprised if His answer boils down to, “Well, duh.”
