He Knows More

He Knows More

By Ava Grace 

I thought I did what's right

I thought I had the answers

I thought I chose the surest road

But that road brought me here

So I put a fight

And told You how to help me

Now just when I have given up

The truth is coming clear

This first verse comes from the song Better Than I by Dallyn Vail Bayles, and is it ever so true. We think we know what is right. We think we know it all. We can choose- after all, we have the power to choose. 

But that doesn't always mean we should be the ones choosing. 

We tell God how He can help us. We instruct Him on how to get us back. There are conditions, and He is required to fill very single one. 

But this is the worst possible way to go about our faith. It isn't even real faith. 

You know better than I 

You know the Way

I let go the need to know why

For You know better than I

Because He truly does know better than us. He knows he plan. He has His reasons, and sometimes those reasons might seem like the most tragic thing that could happen to us. We get confused by the phrase 'works everything for our good'. 

For our eternal good, may I make clear. 

Things in this life will go sideways. There will be hard times, tough times, and broken times. There will be times that we question our faith. We wonder if there really is a God Who knows us and loves us. 

Because if there is, He doesn't seem to care about me at all. 

But we must remind ourselves that this is just the Devil trying to sneak in and catch us into his net of lies. 

Bad things happen so God's majestic glory can shine through, even if everything around us seems to be falling apart. He has a purpose. He has a plan. And He cares. 

He cares about all of us. 

If this has been a test

I cannot see the reason

But maybe knowing I don't know

Is part of getting through

I tried to do what's best

And faith has made it easy

To see the best thing I can do 

Is put my trust in You

We might fight the plan. We might wonder why this had to happen to me. We are confused as to what eternal glory this thing could ever bring. 

But then we realize that the best thing that we can do is just trust and pray and believe that His will is good. Always.

I've let go the need to know why

I'll take the answers You supply

You know better than I
