REASONS
Today's reading: Jonah

"Then they cried out to the Lord, Jonah's God, O Lord, they pleaded, don't make us die for this man's sins. And don't hold us responsible for his death, because it isn't our fault. O Lord, you have sent this storm upon him for your own good reasons." Jonah 1:14 NLT

Reason-rational ground or motive; sufficient ground of explanation on or logical defense; something that supports a conclusion or explains a fact.

Maybe like the sailors in the account of Jonah, you don't like the circumstances God currently has you in.

I hate to hear that. I'm sure you had life all planned out, days scheduled and your Day-Timer filled in.

Here is what I get from today's Bible reading...His reasons trump ours!

Really, He knows better than we do.

He knows what will grow us into His image, what will re-direct our paths to Him, what will cause those around us to drop our jaws in awe of His provision and grace.

He has His reasons. Trust them.
