Something my mom always said growing up is “clear as mud.” I can still hear her words when asking if we understood something. Now after explaining something to someone I will say “clear as mud right.” There are times when trying to figure out or understand the Bible we walk away in a fog. It is to us clear as muddy water.
In Mark 9:32 the disciples didn’t understand what Jesus was telling them. It was as if they couldn’t comprehend the truth. It just wouldn’t sink in. They had it in their minds one outcome and what Jesus told them didn’t fit. How often do we do the same thing? When our plans do not match God’s we tend to turn a blind eye. We cannot comprehend God’s plan.
After we do mess up and realize it we often say “Hind sight is twenty-twenty.” It is easy to look back and see what should have been. We can also look back and see God’s plan unfold and know His way was better. So the next time we face something and it is clear as mud let us remember God is in Control and to him it is as clear as a glass of pure water…
