Our standards of \u201cthe way things out to be\u201d and God\u2019s standard can be perplexing, for it seems that God does things that we don\u2019t understand. Yet our response to the confusion is an acknowledgement that we are not God. He knows the beginning from the end and there are mercies going on that we have no reference for. This is the nature of God. So worship the Lord, for though He is near, He will not be contained by our thoughts or our comprehension. This is what makes Him mighty \u2013 and mysterious.\u00a0 ~ Dave Whitehead, Senior Pastor, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gracenyc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">GraceNYC.org<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"ylb-container\" style=\"background-color:E6E6E6\">\n                   <a href=\"#\" class=\"ylb-close\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/iowawebnet.com\/havefaith\/wp-content\/plugins\/mtx-license-plugin\/images\/close-icon.png\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t   <p><div style=\"background-color: #F8F8F8; color: #3B5D9B; font-style: italic;  font-size: 10px;\">\r\n<fieldset style=\"border: #FFF dotted 1px;\" >\r\n<legend><strong>Iowa Web Network<\/strong><\/legend>\r\n<span style=\"padding-left: 15px;\">This article is subject to Creative Common License.
