Working

Faith's confidence rests in the assurance--the promise--we have that He is always at work. Most of the time we do not see His hand silenty but surely doing good for us and for those we love. But understanding who He is--the God of love, faithfulness, and perfect wisdom empowers us to ourselves be instruments of love, faithfulness, and comfort--even when, especially when, we cannot see. As one of my favorite quotes says, "He is too wise to make a mistake and too loving to be unkind." Dynamic faith reflects that confidence in word and deed. In times of success and in times of failure. In times of great joy and in times of great sorrow. In times when we can see and understand His goodness in our lives and in times we can see neither. Faith knows that the same love and grace that led Him to Calvary--willingly--on our behalf, is the same depth of love and grace that He is still working into our lives. "When peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll . . .it is well with my soul." 

"All will be well."
