A moment for reflection: God is our Rock and He is steadfast. by Morag Cameron God is our Rock and He is steadfast. He is the same throughout the Scriptures and He never changes. Even today, He is who He is. It is because of His steadfastness that we can live, breathe and have our being. Understanding that God’s character never changes is the foundation to learning more about His just ways. God’s justice keeps all things together. God’s justice has kept the world from imploding on itself. God’s justice gives men a very long time to repent and turn from evil to righteousness. His justice is not based on what we can see, but His justice gives its verdict based on looking at the whole picture and because of that, everything He does is from a place of great wisdom and insight. This is why we can trust His judgments. The character of God is consistent. His justice is not biased or based on sentiments. His justice is for good. There will be days we will not understand what He is doing, but we can trust because He is reliable. His actions are always for the good of all. |
In most of our lives there will have been moments when we think God was not fair as we did not fully understand what He was doing at that point. Looking back, we can see we were most likely looking at life through our pain and situation and not as God sees it. When He opens our eyes to see through His perspective, we realise everything He was doing was for our good. We must intentionally pray and choose to see through His eyes, let His Spirit lead us and trust His actions. We may not understand it all but the knowledge that He is just keeps our hearts in peace. He can be trusted. Hymn Don Moen - Trust and Obey Prayer Loving Father, we thank You for Your patience with us. Forgive us when we doubt You. Please teach us to see life through Your eyes so our hearts might have peace. Amen. |
