IF THE LORD SEES FIT
Today's reading: 2 Samuel 15-19

"...If the Lord sees fit, David said, he will..." 2 Samuel 15:26 NLT

What a tough statement to make.

What a hard prayer to pray.

What a mouthful, earful and heartful of advise one can give.

Because God doesn't always.

He doesn't always heal.

He doesn't always rescue.

He doesn't always relieve.

He doesn't always save.

Well, at least not in the way we think He should or know He could of have seen Him do before.

And that's hard.

It's not that He's fickle. It's not that He is wishy-washy. It's not that He is unreliable. That's not it at all.

It's just that He is God and He knows what it best, He knows what is contained in His God-sized plan, He knows what situations will bring Him the most glory, He knows what will grow us the most.

If God sees fit, that's real faith.
