Biblical Answer

Understanding God's Sovereignty and Our Walk with Him

When we ask why God took away our ability to walk, we must consider His sovereignty and our walk with Him. As believers, we must understand that God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9). His sovereignty is not limited by our understanding or our circumstances. He is the all-knowing, all-powerful God who created us and sustains us.

A Deeper Level of Liberty

Perhaps God took away our ability to walk as a way to move us into a deeper level of liberty that He wants to work in our life. As the apostle Paul wrote, "And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God" (1 Corinthians 2:4-5). God's ways are not limited by our understanding or our circumstances. He is working in our lives, even when we cannot see or understand.

A Call to Obedience and Trust

As we navigate our circumstances, we must remember that obedience and trust are essential to our walk with God. As the author of Colossians 1:9-10 wrote, "And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God." We must trust in God's sovereignty and His plan for our lives, even when we cannot understand or see the reason for our circumstances. As Jesus said, "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed" (John 20:29). We must trust in God's goodness and sovereignty, even when we cannot walk.
