All God's acts are done in perfect wisdom, first for His own glory, and then for the highest good of the greatest number for the longest time. All of His acts are as pure as they are wise, and as good as they are wise and pure. Not only could His acts not be done better: a better way to do them could not be imagined!
Many through the centuries have declared themselves unable to believe in the basic wisdom of a world in which so much appears to be wrong. But there is hope in all our tears. When the hour of Christ's triumph arrives, the suffering world will be brought out into the glorious liberty of the sons of God. For believers, the golden age is not past, but future, and when it comes, a wondering universe will see that God has indeed abounded toward us in wisdom.
In spite of tears and death we believe that the God who made us is infinitely wise and good. The testimony of faith is that no matter how things LOOK in this fallen world, all God's acts are worked in perfect wisdom. Most of us go through life praying a little, planning a little, jockeying for position, hoping but never being quite certain of anything and always secretly afraid that we will miss the way. There is a better way. TRUST GOD. God constantly encourages us to trust Him in the dark. It's as if God were saying, "What I am is all that should matter to you, for in me your hope and peace lies. I will do what I will do, and it will all come to light in the end - How I do it and why is my secret. TRUST ME AND DON'T BE AFRAID. After all, with the goodness of God, which wants our best, the wisdom of God to plan for it, and the power of God to bring it about, what do we need? Nothing!!...we are the most blessed of all creatures...
