'We do not know that it would be best
We do not know that it would be best
"Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done!" Luke 22:42
When a beloved Christian's life hangs trembling in the balance — we should not, with all our loving yearning, dare to choose whether it shall be spared to us, or carried to its heavenly home.
When some great hope of our heart is about to be taken from us — we should not dare settle the question whether we shall lose it or keep it.
We do not know that it would be best .
But we do know that God has a perfect plan for our life, marked out by His infinite wisdom .
Surely we should not say that what we, with our limited wisdom, might prefer — would be better than what He wills for us.
"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose!" Romans 8:28
