ALWAYS LOGICAL? Maybe not...

I'm a logical guy. Give me the facts. Show me the map. Let's look at the stats. Not a fan of conjecture, unthoughtful planning, and no strategy. But sometimes, following God is not...logical.

What I mean is that from my point of view, following God, does not always include the next most logical move. It means sometimes God's request of us calls for surrender to His wisdom rather than our own.

Don't some of God's moves defy logic?
Would you choose a man hiding in a winepress to lead an army? God did. He chose Gideon.
Would you entrust the leadership of millions to a man who had only led sheep? God did. He chose Moses.
Does logic lead us to assign the leadership of a movement to 12 guys who don't appear to be team-minded? No. But Jesus did.

Today, Jesus might ask you to do something illogical. Trust Him.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
    and do not lean on your own understanding.
⁶ In all your ways acknowledge him,
    and he will make straight your paths.
⁷ Be not wise in your own eyes...
Proverbs 3:5-7a (ESV)
