Morning blinding flash of the obvious: Just because the outworking of God's will is not apparent to us doesn't mean it is not present.
This came to me when I read my note in my daily reader: '23 Trump indicted...praise God. This morning, I added: '25 - no apparent consequences.
The word "apparent" is the key...we know not what God's perfect will has already effected. That may not become visible to our naked eye anytime soon...if ever.
The consequences work within each of us for our own benefit. We know naught of Trump's inner workings nor how long it will be before he knows...and he may never know it much less show it.
The true blinding flash: The road to faith growing up is belief without visible evidence of God's will working for good.
We might try accepting that any act of ours or others is God's will working for the good of each of us singularly and for all en masse.
Here's a thought: Thy will, Thy way can only be for spiritual good...ego's material good gets to take the backseat. Now to practice that.
Thank you.
