Directing Our Affairs

There is something wonderfully inspiring in the thought, that God has a plan and a purpose for our lives, for each life. We do not come drifting into this world and do not drift through it like waves on the ocean. We are sent from God, each one of us with a divine plan for his life, something God wants us to do, some place He wants us to fill. All through our lives, we are in the hands of God, who chooses our place and orders our circumstances, and makes all things work together for our good and His glory. 

It is the highest honor that could be conferred upon us, to occupy such a place in the thought of God. We cannot doubt that His way for us is better than ours since He is infinitely wiser than we are, and loves us so. It may be painful and hard but in the pain and the hardness, there is blessing.
