God lives and works today.
You too should be able to experience this,
even if there are many unanswered questions in
your life and many things you don't understand.
The following meditation by Basilie Schlenk has an
answer from the Word of God which can
make you happy and free.
Probably all of us would agree the worst
thing in our lives is uncertainty, when we
don't know how to go on, when we
wonder if there is any meaning behind our
suffering or behind a difficult leading of the
Lord.
As soon as we realize there is a
purpose behind a difficulty, the pain loses some
of its sting.
We know that everything will work out for
the good and we accept that the present
situation is also good and necessary.
In the 11th chapter of Romans, the Apostle
Paul praises the wonderful thoughts and counsels of
God.
Yes, God has wonderful goals in mind for
the nations of the earth as well as
for each individual.
He has planned the events of our lives
so that they might lead to a marvelous
goal.
All the angels adore and praise his wisdom.
In human realms, we are fascinated by great
plans and strategies.
Perhaps we know a little about chess and
can recognize individual moves.
Then one day, when we understand the whole
strategy, we are amazed at its brilliance.
Nevertheless, our most ingenious plans and actions are
pitiable compared to the plans for salvation that
God has made.
Are you going through a special time of
trial right now?
Or has someone mistreated you or even deceived
you?
You can be assured you need only live
before God.
He has arranged your life according to a
wonderful plan.
One day you'll be able to see his
strategy and you'll be amazed and grateful.
His grace will triumph in the end, in
your life and in the life of the
nations.
As Romans 11.33 says, O the depths
of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of
God.
Another translation of this verse speaks of the
depths of grace in the heart of God.
Yes, God's heart is a well of grace
which is constantly bubbling and running over.
Do you want to experience this grace?
You need only say, I'm only concerned about
God, my Father, his thoughts and his will
for my life.
Nothing can depress me.
And then you will experience and drink from
the fountain of his grace.
His grace will triumph.
