“For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been thus destroyed, yet in my flesh I shall see God, whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. My heart faints within me!”
Job 19: 25-27When you cannot make sense of the circumstances, you need to begin reviewing what you know, not what you feel. Job knew God. He knew His character and His love and understood his own frailties.
When we insist that we understand, we elevate ourselves to the same status God alone holds. There will be times when all we have is the understanding that God is older than us, smarter than us, and loves us. We must then trust Him.
Faith is not the controlling of circumstances. It is the expression of what we know, even amid the unknown.
We are never told that without pragmatism, we cannot please God. Therefore, in uncertain times and at all times, faith trumps pragmatism. It is what it is.
