I am reading a book called The Invisible Hand and it talks about God's providence. I want to share with you my learnings and the things I found to be very true for me. For one thing, I learned that God truly works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. I've been struggling so much lately with pain and hurt. For a while I put God on the back burner everytime I question why he wasn't there for me or why he allowed bad things to happen to me. Now that I look back, I learned that all the pain I've had in the past was indeed for the better. If certain things didn't happen in the past, the present things may not work out as well as they did. While I am suffering from pain and hurt, God was preparing for healing, growth, and newer better things. We have a God that are active in the details of our life. We have a God that cares about our spiritual nurishment more than our temporary pain and unhappiness. We have a God that is soverign, omnipotent, and foreknowing. Knowing this gives me so much comfort because I can entrust my life unto him. He isn't a God that is uncertain and hesitant. God does not have a second plan.
