We who have within us the very life of the Son of God โ we are the objects of our Fatherโs great solicitude and care. Our lives are completely bound up โ intricately woven and interconnected โ into His greater redemptive plan for the ages. This is always true no matter how difficult, unexpected, or even random some events of our lives may seem to us. This includes detours, seasons, wildernesses and valleys. (Psalm 139:16; Romans 8:28; 11:36; Ephesians 1:9-10)
Behind the scenes of our lives our Most High God is opening doors that no man can shut, and shutting doors that no man can open. He who puts rulers on thrones and removes them is also raising up people to intersect our lives at just the right time. (Revelation 3:7; Daniel 2:21)
Yes, all the while we pray. Yes, we respond to God and have a role to play. But how it all synchronizes and works together โฆ that is knowledge that is โtoo wonderfulโ, โtoo highโ for us. Itโs simply beyond our human understanding. (Psalm 139:1-6,16; Romans 11:34-36) SELAH.
But we can know the comfort and assurance it brings โ that beyond our immediate understanding โ we can trust the magnificent ways of our Lord, our divine orchestrator, that He will bring to us all we need, when we need it.
