His Providence is wisely designed and sovereignly sent for our good!
(Don Fortner)
As a wise, skilled pharmacist mixes medicine-so our heavenly Father wisely mixes exactly the right measure of bitter things and sweet, to do us good.
Too much joy would intoxicate us.
Too much misery would drive us to despair.
Too much sorrow would crush us.
Too much suffering would break our spirits.
Too much pleasure would ruin us.
Too much defeat would discourage us.
Too much success would puff us up.
Too much failure would keep us from doing anything.
Too much criticism would harden us.
Too much praise would exalt us.
Our great God knows exactly what we need.
His Providence is wisely designed and sovereignly sent for our good!
Let God send and do whatever He wills-by His grace, if we are His, we will face it, bow to it, accept it, and give thanks for it. God's Providence is always executed in the 'wisest manner' possible. We are often unable to see and understand the reasons and causes for specific events in our lives, in the lives of others, or in the history of the world. But our lack of understanding does not prevent us from believing God.
"We know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
