Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! “Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?” . . . For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen. Romans 11:33, 34, 36
We think that if we commit our lives to God, He will work things out for us so that everything will run smoothly for us without problems. When it doesn’t work that way we ask, “why?” We find it easy to believe that unbelievers or scoundrels have problems but inevitably we ask why does a just and loving God permit us to experience hard times. We are always ready to praise Him for our blessings, but we fail to see that so often our problems are really blessings in disguise. For without problems there would be no learning, no growth, no opportunity to change.
I give you glory, wise and loving God – You take problems and turn them into blessings!
