Our LORD Willing
It
is natural for people to make plans for a day, for a week, sometimes
even several months in advance. But it is also natural for God’s
people to say; "if it is God's will" we will do
such-an-such. For they all know by experience "Boast not
thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth"
[PROVERBS 27:1].
Countless numbers of people get up and start their day not knowing
before the day is over that they will be in a car accident, a son or
daughter will be taken away, a husband or wife will go to the Doctor
and hear the news you have a terminal disease. No one gets out of bed
expecting that this will be a day of trouble or tragedy, or that they
will receive a call from someone with the awful news of the death of
their flesh and blood. Job, when he went to worship God and offer
sacrifice for his children, did not know that in a short time he
would lose all he possessed but his own soul. "There was a
day" [JOB
1:13].
But I can tell you what we can know. We can know God, who knows all things and orders all things for our good and His glory. We by His Grace can "be strong in faith giving glory to God". We can do as Job who "fell down upon the ground and worshipped, and said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. in all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly" [JOB 1:20-22].
For those of you who don’t know the Lord, how do you deal with life? Do you go through life confused, bitter, and angry, dealing with questions you can’t answer? Do you go through life with a flippant attitude, or believing you have the strength to deal with anything? As for me and I know I speak for God’s people, I wouldn’t want to face a moment without the Lord for ten thousand worlds like this. "we don’t know what a day may bring forth", but we do know Who brings it forth.
