One thing about the Lord is this – He’s never short
of surprises, variety in how He deals with us, or last minute changes to what
we thought were well-laid plans. As
Scottish bard, Robbie Burns, once wrote, “The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men
gang aft a-gley.” (Often go
astray). That’s how we sometimes see
them, but from God’s perspective, nothing goes astray. The variety of His sovereign working is
utterly amazing.
How true it is that “man’s disappointments are God’s
appointments.” We do not know anything beyond
****’s current condition why this has been deferred yet again, but being
surrendered to the Lord’s good will, we accept it with thanksgiving and we are in the hands of our blessed Saviour and
Lord, Jesus Christ. “Man proposes but He
disposes.” And we are deeply happy with
that.
Our trust is in the grace and goodness of the
Almighty, and we are content to remain there.
To walk with the Lord is to walk in safety, but to stray from Him is to
live dangerously. Whatever He sends us is
right and good and pleasing; and we accept it all. So at the end of the day, He
knows better than we do, and He can see what’s down the road, something that is
mercifully kept hidden from us.
