Trusting God’s will and ways
Our American Christianity owes more to Christian culture
than a divine Gospel. We seek a God to bless our sporting events not a God who
calls us to believe in his divine will. We want a God but not a God and
providence in our world. When one goes, the other goes. There is no place for a
God who reigns but does not govern. Yet, it is exactly this which we want. We
want to trust in God without trusting His will. It is true that we cannot
discern the plan of God from the events of the every day. We cannot see the
grand picture. We cannot understand God’s mind, however, we trust God’s will.
St. Augustine was right, “where God’s judgments are not discovered, God’s
counsel is not to be neglected.” What we have is God’s purpose and God’s heart.
We have God. Though mountains may fall, our candidate lose, babies die, yet our
trust is in a God whose ways are beyond finding out. – Ron Friesen
