God is Wiser that you... and me (Humble moment)

Have you ever had one of those moments where you read some scripture or thought about a time when you Just didn't understand why God would do something in a certain way, Good or Bad? For example Has God called you to something or blessed you with a position, title, job, or an unusual amount of favor that you just don't understand? Like the first time God put me into a worship leader position my first thought was "God you got the wrong man, I'm not Good enough I can barely play guitar my voice cracks sometimes when I sing, God what are you thinking?" Maybe it was a Job like moment where God allowed all kinds of bad stuff to Happen to you and you wanted to respond to God like this "What the heck did I do to deserve this God? Where are you? I think you've wronged me!"

Or could you be in a place where I'm at right now. God has me taking a Sabbaticle. Just when I see him moving in crazy ways shaking my friends lives and impacting the ministries I was a part of. Just when I think now is the time for me to be there, to row harder, to have a "Do Work Son" moment and "git-er-done." That's when God tells me to pull back and rest.... why?

God Says:

8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the LORD.
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts. -
Isaiah 55

God is Smarter than me and He has better plans than I can think up. He's ways would make no more since to me than me trying to explain to puppy that People have to go to work to provide food. and that they'll be back in a few hours. God is just flat out wiser than me and if you don't believe me check out Job 38-42 and see how God answers Job after Job tries to put God on trial. The end result God the wise 1 mankind 0. In conclusion we need to Humble our selves before we step to God thinking that we are smarter than Him we're not He knows what he's doing even when we don't understand it.

Bonus:
1 Corinthians 1:26 Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him. 30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31 Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”
