I wonder what God is thinking all the time! That's because I believe that He allows anything that comes into our lives. Oh, He may not orchestrate it, it may not be His will for us, but He allows it! And I admit to being perplexed at some of the things He allows!
For example, good people, Christians following Him as nearly as humanly possible that have great sorrow and devastation come into their lives (death of a husband). People whose children have terrible handicaps that make life, even their calling by God, difficult to obtain (a friend who has a child with an auditory learning disability making it very difficult to comprehend what is being said to him, called to ministry). Lost babies, financial reversals, broken hearts, lost jobs, failed classes...the list goes on and on.
But this I know! God is good! All the time! He is in control of our lives! All the time! He does allow what happens to us to happen for our eventual good and His glory! Our goal is not happiness in this life, it is contentment and joy in Christ and eternal life with Him!
To God be the glory for who and what He is!
