Welcome to the In-Dutch podcast with Charles Stanley for Wednesday, April 12th.

God's ways can seem confusing and frustrating, but that's because we don't often stop to consider how he works.

Today, let's learn about the ways of God.

Well, for years I prayed a prayer that I did not realize, some hand the Scriptures that somebody else had prayed this prayer.

And one day I found out that one of God's greatest servants prayed the same prayer that I'd been praying.

I didn't even understand exactly what it all meant or exactly what I was really praying.

I just knew that I wanted to know something, I didn't know.

And one day I came across this pastor's scripture and it was Moses who prayed it and he said,

now therefore I pray that if I have found favor in my sight, let me know by ways that I may know thee.

The title of this message is the ways of God.

The ways of God. Now what you're going to turn to Psalm 25 because David also was crying out to God and making this petition to him in the 25th Psalm.

Well, we can start with verse 1. He says,

Oh my God, in thee I trust. Do not let me be ashamed and do not let my enemies exalt over me.

Indeed, none of those who wait for thee will be ashamed. Those who deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed.

Make me know thy ways, O Lord, teach me thy paths.

Now what do we mean by the ways of the Lord?

Well more than likely you're not going to find in a definition in your Bible and where it says,

this is what the ways of the Lord are. But when I think about the ways of the Lord, I think about how God operates.

How does God operate? I think about how God thinks. How does he think?

I think about what's God's methods for accomplishing and working in people's lives and achieving his goals and his perspectives in life.

The ways of God. I don't know of anything personally unless it is being able to hear from God that's more important to know
