Not understanding something must not turn us away from God, his ways, or purposes; rather it must be an opportunity to turn our measure of faith into a sacrifice of trust.

About This Quote

This quote is an important one for those who are not understanding the Bible. When we give up hope, we must not let that turn us away from God. On the contrary, it should be an opportunity to turn our measure of faith into a sacrifice of trust. The way I see this quote is that when you don’t understand something, it means that you are trusting God.

You will feel lost and you will be frustrated at times because you don’t understand what is going on. But, if you can put your trust in God, he has planned everything out. He knows the answers to the things you don’t understand.
