Reflection of the Day

"Many of our friends, in their letters of sympathy, speak of God's mysterious ways, and I know there is an element of mystery. But I shrink from the suggestion that our Father has done anything that needs to be explained. What He has done is the best, because He has done it, and I pray that as a family we may not cast about for explanations, but exult in the Holy Spirit and say, 'I thank Thee, Father ... Even so, Father ...

"It suggests a lack of confidence in Him if we find it necessary to understand all He does.

"Will it not bring greater joy to Him that we need no explanation because we know Him? 'As for God, his way is perfect,' says the psalmist. If His way is perfect, we need no explanations."

J Oswald Sanders
To Fight Better, pg. 173

A most enlightening and trustworthy sharing from a man of God who through 80 years of life, endured pain and bereavement after pain and bereavement and yet walked strong and closely in the Lord, being greatly used by Him for His glory.

We need no explanation because we know Him, and He has done it; His way is perfect.
