00:00:00 --> 00:00:05 Most children, somewhere around the age of two, begin asking why?

00:00:05 --> 00:00:13 Not to question their parents, but to cognitively and developmentally begin to understand the world around them.

00:00:14 --> 00:00:17 So it is with us as spiritual beings.

00:00:18 --> 00:00:20 Tune in as we explore this concept more.

00:00:24 --> 00:00:32 Hello and welcome to MoMo634, the daily podcast chock full of faith-filled inspiration and motivation.

00:00:33 --> 00:00:38 MoMo634, motivational moments just for today.

00:00:56 --> 00:01:09 For a period of about a year or so, we had a number of things go off course, just boom, boom, boom, like dominoes falling one after another.

00:01:10 --> 00:01:19 Yet, when we got on the other side of all the difficulties, I began to see God's hand in it all.

00:01:20 --> 00:01:27 If A had not happened, then we wouldn't have been in a certain place for B to happen, and so on.

00:01:28 --> 00:01:39 At the end of it all, I saw the path carved out for me and how God protected and walked with me each step of the way.

00:01:40 --> 00:01:43 Lately, I've been wondering why.

00:01:44 --> 00:01:50 Not in a questioning God kind of way, just an actual sort of toddler-esque way.

00:01:50 --> 00:01:55 Curious because I see things that often don't compute.

00:01:55 --> 00:02:04 And that may be because with mood and brain chemistry issues, we aren't always rational and linear in our thinking.

00:02:06 --> 00:02:15 Something that came from that difficult period of time is my total reliance in these words from Isaiah 55.

00:02:18 --> 00:02:24 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.

00:02:25 --> 00:02:34 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

00:02:35 --> 00:02:35 Isaiah 55 8-11

00:03:06 --> 00:03:09 Unlike toddlers with their constant refrain of, why?

00:03:10 --> 00:03:13 I can't understand God's rationale for things.

00:03:14 --> 00:03:19 I just have to trust He loves me and has my best interests at heart.

00:03:21 --> 00:03:27 I may or may not ever see the breadcrumbs once I'm on the other side of this current cycle.

00:03:29 --> 00:03:34 I just know it's an exercise in total reliance and trust in God.

00:03:36 --> 00:03:46 Our meme for today says, Instead of asking why all the time, consider why not and trust in God.
