The seventy percent solution

God’s ways are beyond us. We are often confused and ignorant about what God is doing in our lives and in the world around us. That should not surprise us. As high as the heavens are above the earth, so are his ways higher than ours (Isa 55:9). What this requires of us is trust. We must be willing to walk with less than 100 percent clarity. God lives in a high and holy place with those whose spirits are contrite and humble (Isa 57:15). When you can’t trace his hand, trust his heart.
