It is true that we have to deal with the various
difficulties that life brings us. But when we say it that way, it does not take
us long to come to the conclusion that life bringing us something is about the
same as chance bringing us something. Life, in the abstract, does not bring us
anything. But, our God, who is our life, does bring us circumstances. And He is
a good God and a loving heavenly Father. It is sometimes easier to think that
life or chance brought us a bad deal than to think that God brought it. Or
maybe better said, that God sent it. The difficulty may actually be brought by
some sinful deliverer but God, who is over all, is the One who directs and
guides all things. Since He is all powerful, He can always prevent any evil
from coming our way. But the fact is that He does not do so. We have to deal
with this straight up with a stout heart. And in this dealing, learn that God
is watching over us for good and then try to find it in every circumstance. The
best way to do this is through thankfulness to God for His watchcare over us.
So, if there is anger, resentment or bitterness still
lurking for your lot in life, the Providence that God has delivered to you, it
is time to confess your unrest and find rest for your soul.
