God's Handwriting

Here is the 3rd post taken from my Barnabas Blog for the month of February. I trust that you will have a great day!

Here's that post:

Last night I took an old classic by V. Raymond Edman, the Disciplines of Life, up to our bedroom to peruse.

I'm glad I did! At the close of each chapter is a verse of a hymn or a poem that really drives the point of the chapter home.

One of these poems was penned by John Oxenham and entitled "God's Handwriting".

Oxenham writes:

"He writes in characters too grand

For our short sight to understand;

We catch but broken strokes, and try

To fathom all the mystery

Of withered hopes, of death, of life,

The endless war, the useless strife -

But there, with larger clearer sight,

We shall see this - His way was right."

Having trouble understanding why God is allowing certain trials and heartaches to be so much a part of your life? You're not the only one! We can take solace in this certain fact...

"As for God, His way is perfect." - Psalm 18:30

Believe it, friend, for His Word is faithful and true!
