Sometimes it is
difficult to see that God is really at work in the world. The killing and stealing and destroying ways
of the enemy are everywhere present, and it can get pretty dark out there.
Rest assured,
however, God is at present and He is working all things after the counsel of
His good and acceptable and perfect will” (Eph. 1:11; Rom 12:2). In the Old Testament we learn ,"The Lord
is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand. The sun will not smite you by day, nor the
moon by night. The Lord will protect you
from all evil; He will keep your soul.
The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in from this time
forth and forever" (Psalm 121: 5-8).
Our call in the
world in which we live is to see beyond the visible into the way of being lived
out by Jesus. He says to us that God is
here, with us, moment-by-moment and day-by-day.
Come what may God is with us. His
grace is sufficient. He will is perfect. Our times are in His hands, if we will let
them go to Him.
Corrie ten Boom,
who has better qualifications than I have said this, “In the concentration camp
they took all we had, even made us stand naked for hours at a time without
rest, but they could not take Jesus from my heart. Ask Jesus to come into your life. He will give you riches no man can take away
from you.”[1]
Even in the
darkest night, God is here.
