“With the goodness of God to desire our highest welfare, the wisdom of God to plan it, and the power of God to achieve it, what do we lack? Surely we are the most favored of all creatures.” – A. W. Tozer

We can’t be good at everything, and sometimes we are put in a situation that demands a skill we don’t have. I remember someone trying to teach me how to sing. He kept giving instructions to get me to have more volume, more voice, more everything. Frustrated, I finally said, “I’m doing the best I can!” And I was, but it was far from acceptable!

There are times when we ask God to do something for us and he doesn’t respond as we’d like him to. He’s too slow or doesn’t do the job as we want it done. And we might go to him with our complaints. When we do, we know he will never say, “I’m doing the best I can.”

What God wants to do, he does. He does it better than we can ask or even dream. It’s impossible for him to do a less-than-perfect job.

So, if we are frustrated with how he is responding, we might be asking him to do something he doesn’t want done – at least not in the way we are demanding. So what do we do? We trust that God is doing something by far better than we are asking, and we change our will to match his. We yield to him. We give up trying to have things our way, and we say “yes” to his way. He never does anything less than the best!

“This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.” – Psalm 18:30
