You will never
encounter the same situation twice. All might seem the same, but it is not true. In the same way the Lord created each snowflake different from all others, He has made each situation different also. This results in a tremendous blessing for those who realize it, because they learn to depend on the Lord rather than their experience when dealing with people and circumstances. This is the great undoing of Christian "how-to" books, as they attempt to teach the reader to recognize and respond by formula. God does not work this way, and since He cannot be recognized or known this way, the believer who forgets that fact is an ineffective fool. Our relationship with the One who designed all things is one of dependence. You will know no contentment until you reconcile with this simple but essential truth. He is not called the do-er, He is called the Creator! |
