That’s Just _______ Taking Its Course
Nature or
Providence?
Providence of course. What humans call
natural, is actually a product of God’s
providence. Of course, “Naturalists” would despise that terminology because it implies a
supernatural concept with which they’re uncomfortable. In fact, they believe “nature” is a product of
chance. Chance? What the heck is that? If that’s true, then even the Naturalists’ logic is by chance…merely accidental. Are they willing to trust and believe in that which is a product of “chance” or a cosmic accident? Apparently so. Remember, it takes much more faith to believe in that, than to believe in the Truth of creation which screams all around us, and as is revealed by Scripture.
Anyway, enough of that talk, my post really has more to do with how Christians view their circumstances in life. You see, the Christian believes that God has ordained whatsoever comes to pass. In light of that, we give thanks
in all circumstances which brings us, in retrospect, to give thanks
for all circumstances. Don’t get me wrong, as a very wise man once wrote, “For everything there is a season”. There are times when frowning providences are sent our way. It is not wrong to grieve. It is not wrong, necessarily, to wonder. But it
is wrong to doubt God’s wisdom and goodness at the root of it all.
So, I thank God for His providence. I thank God that His providence is “taking its course”. Whatsoever He gives, it is
He Who gives it. Whatsoever He takes away, it is in fact
He Who takes it away. Blessed be His Name. So stands His purpose. So persists His glory. He alone is worthy of such. He has a
good reason for all that He does…even when we cannot see it. I know this is not informative or educational for any of you, but I like to write out reminders for myself. God is indeed good. And because I know He’s good, I know that whatever He does in my life is
ultimately good. Think on these things.
