​God with us: Weekly Pastoral Devotional

naive?

11/16/2022

​I've been called lots of things over the years.  Most often I get called Scott (my name), Dad, Coach, Pastor and Dork (only acceptable from my siblings by the way).  But a few times I've been called naive.  You see, I have this crazy notion that no matter how things may appear, that God is working behind the scenes and we should trust Him. 
 
This sometimes drives non-believers (and even some Christians) crazy because they think I am not facing the facts or living in some fantasy land where everything is rainbows and unicorns...but that's just not true.  I realize that life is hard and that bad things happen (they happen to me too).  I don't doubt the existence of evil or pain and I know I live in a broken world where not every story has a happy ending.  I just hold firm to the belief that I live in a story larger than my own...I live as a part of God's bigger story and that in His story, there is a good plan that WILL happen (even if I don't live to see it or recognize it).

Isaiah 55:9 reminds us of the truth that "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."

God is with us.  God is for us.  God is working.  We may not see it; but it's not naive to believe it.  In a world full of evil, there is a good God who is at work; and I'll take comfort in that truth.

In Christ,
Pastor Scott
