We may spend much time asking why things are the way they are. We may believe God is totally sovereign, but still spend time trying to figure out how specific things going on in the world could ever serve His purposes.
The fact that these things are hard to nail down should not surprise us -
Isaiah 55:8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. (NKJV)
Much more important than figuring out the why of everything God does, is simply believing He is wise, He is powerful and He loves us for Christ's sake! Then we can answer the question Abraham asked -
Gen. 18:25b "Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?” (NKJV)
And to this we can answer 100% yes and Amen!
This is a source of great peace and comfort to me in a world which seems so out of control.
To Him be the Glory!
