God's thoughts

"The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law." Deuteronomy 29:29

We cannot expect to know all God's thoughts . We cannot expect to know God's design in the providences that touch human affairs and affect our own lives. We cannot trace the results of His acts through centuries to come, to know what the final outcome will be.

We cannot tell what beautiful trees, with full rich fruitage, will grow from the rough dark seeds which today the Master plants in our life-garden. Just so, we cannot tell what blessing will come in the long future, from the sorrow which now lays its heavy hand upon us.

"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways," says the LORD. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts!" Isaiah 55:8-9
