So it's all over for another year, one has to laugh at the words of a song, ',I wish it could be Christmas every day' imagine the turkey dinners we would consume,I dread the thought. Now back to reality back to the future,it goes without saying we don't know what the future holds, but there is someone who does, ''God'' Thats very important to be reminded of that, but He is not just a spectator, He is a sovereign God who rules and reigns over all things,if that is true why?yes that why again. Tozer writes that He is all knowing, all powerful,and absolutely free. Consider the last one absolutely free.We do not have the answer as regards ,'the riddle of permitted evil'. or the mystery of permitted evil. The Westminster Confession tells us,'His not the author or approver of sin,nor is he blameworthy for it' .Because God is sovereign we can have hope,our times are in his hands,that means the good times and the bad ,and some very bad time.Bad things happen to God's children,in Philippians 2 v29 we read'For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in Him,but also suffer for Him'.Romans 8 v28 tells us that all things work together for good to those who love God'. All things, yes even evil things, I may not understand these words,but we must exercise faith in our sovereign God and His will for our lives,and not to give up on God, whatever the new year brings.
'I know who holds the future,and He'll guide me with His hand,
With God things don't just happen,everything by Him is planned;
So as I face tomorrow with its problems large and small,
I'll trust the God of miracles,give to Him my all'.
