The comforting truths of this verse should kindle our hopes, strengthen our faith, and stoke the flames of our love for the sovereign, good, and all-wise God whom we serve.
In a world that often seems chaotic and uncertain, it can be a great comfort to know that all of the events and circumstances of our lives are ultimately ordained by our loving and all-knowing God.
As believers, we can take solace in the truth that what God ordains is always best for us! Though we may not always understand the reasons behind the trials and tribulations which our Heavenly Father sends to us, we can trust that He has a perfect plan and purpose for sending them. His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts are beyond our limited understanding.
When we humbly receive whatever, His sovereign will send to us, we can have confidence that God uses even our most difficult or painful afflictions to refine us as His precious gold,
to wean us from the world,
to draw us closer to Himself,
to make us more like our precious Lord Jesus.
Perhaps in the moment, His plan may not seem ideal or desirable from our finite human perspective. But if we walk by faith and not by sight, we will come to see that what God has ordained is indeed what is truly best not just for our temporary comfort, but for our eternal good!
Though the path may be arduous, we can rest assured that our loving Heavenly Father is guiding our steps, and that his perfect will for our lives is unfolding exactly as it should. When we fully embrace this truth, it will fill our hearts with peace, hope and gratitude, even amidst the storms of life!
