Life’s innumerable trials produce any number of reactions in the afflicted, including self-pity, stoicism, and humble gratitude. Every sincere Christian, of course, strives for the latter.
In an interview conducted while still on board the International Space Station, 62-year-old NASA astronaut Barry “Butch” Wilmore responded to a question about what lessons he had learned during his unexpectedly lengthy stay in orbit, which began when he and fellow astronaut Suni Williams arrived at the station on June 6, 2024.
“My feeling on all of this goes back to my faith,” Wilmore said in a clip posted to the social media platform X. “It’s bound in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
“He is working out His plan and His purposes for His glory throughout all of humanity, and how that plays into our lives is significant and important, and however that plays out, I am content because I understand that,” Wilmore said of Jesus.
Meanwhile, Wilmore’s extended heavenly view of his home planet apparently produced Heaven-inspired reflections.
“He is working out His plan and His purposes for His glory throughout all of humanity, and how that plays into our lives is significant and important, and however that plays out, I am content because I understand that,” Wilmore said of Jesus.
Then, the astronaut cited Scripture.
“I understand that He’s at work in all things. Some things are for the good. Go to Hebrews Chapter 11. Some things look to us to be not so good, but it’s all working out for His good for those that will believe. And that’s the answer. So, thanks for asking,” Wilmore said.
