His Thoughts

Has God ever told you to do something that just sound crazy or doesn't make any sense? And because it doesn't make any sense to us we start questioning whether or not is it God really speaking or just our minds. God has instructed me to do something that if anyone else knew about it they would think that I am stupid. I know that it is God because He has done it before and of course I didn't listen. I listened to others opinions instead of the one who knows best all because what He told me to do did not make sense to me.Well as you may know God rewards obedience just like we do with our own children. You also may know that God is not like us. He doesn't think like us nor act like us. Isaiah 55 verse 8&9 says, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."
This is where our faith in God comes in. Do we trust Him enough to follow His directions even when it does not seem reasonable? Do we trust Him to realize that He knows what is best for us even when others try to tell us different? Do we trust God's thoughts and His ways?
