GOD Knows What Is Best For Us.

We would wreck everything!
(J.R. Miller, "When the Song Begins" 1905)

Not only does GOD love 
us and desire our good--
but HIS wisdom is infinite.
HE knows what is best for us,
what things will do us the good we 
need. We ourselves do not know.

The things we think 
would bring us blessing--
perhaps would bring us 
irreparable harm!

The things we dread as 
evil, and shrink from--
perhaps are the bearers
to us of divinest good!

We would make pitiful
work of our lives--
if we had the ordering of 
our affairs in our own hands.
If for but one day we could take
matters into our own hands,
out of GOD'S hands--
we would wreck everything!

"My times are in YOUR hands!" 
Psalm 31:15
