God Knows What's Best
Trust the Lord with all your
heart, and don't depend on your own understanding.
Proverbs
3:5
The problem with this world is that
it doesn't fit. Oh, it will do for now, but it isn't tailor-made.
We were made to live with God, but on earth we live by faith. We were
made to live forever, but on this earth we live but for a moment. . . .
We must trust God. We must
trust not only that he does what is best but that he knows what is ahead.
Ponder the words of Isaiah 57:1-2: "The good men perish; the godly die
before their time and no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems
to realize that God is taking them away from the evil days ahead. For
the godly who die shall rest in peace" (TLB).
My, what a thought. God is
taking them away from the evil days ahead. Could death be God's grace?
Could the funeral wreath be God's safety ring? As horrible as the
grave may be, could it be God's protection from the future?
Trust in God, Jesus urges, and trust
in me.
