In Luke 7:23 Jesus addresses John the Baptist two sent disciples confusion and doubt concerning Him and His mission saying, “blessed is the one who isn’t offended by me.” What a great encouragement this statement is. We must never measure the methods of God by the wisdom of the world! Jesus’ work is always the final answer to the question to methods and timing! Jesus’ exhortation is, “If you are not able at this time to understand how, why, or when I’m going to accomplish what I have said I am going to do, don’t allow your heart to be stumbled or halted in your trust of Me.” Joy comes as we trust Him through our weakness, not allowing our inability to understand to halt our trust. Folks, our trust is not based upon our understanding or even our experience; it is based upon His character, which is revealed in the scripture.
