(James Meikle, “Converse with the Unseen World”)
“Our God is in heaven and does whatever He
pleases.” Psalm 115:3 (HCSB)
“But He is unchangeable; who can oppose Him?
He does what He desires.” Job 23:13 (HCSB)
While I might wish to change some things in my
situation in life, I reflect that the wisdom of that
gracious God who rules for me is so perfect, that
any other situation in life would not be good for
me. Now, though I cannot now understand how
such and such circumstances are for my good, yet
I know that His wisdom is a thousand times better
than mine. So I should be silent in whatever He
sees fit to send me. Moreover, I should adore His
sovereignty, and submit to His disposal in all
things–just because He disposes all things.
“For I know that the Lord is great; our Lord is greater
than all gods. The Lord does whatever He pleases in
heaven and on earth, in the seas and all the depths.”
Psalm 135:5-6 (HCSB)
“Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom
and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable
His judgments and untraceable His ways!”
Romans 11:33 (HCSB)
