God's hand is in all our lives and in all situations. He created each of us with a purpose and a unique path to walk on. Sometimes our paths can lead to many positive and uplifting experiences along the way. And at other times, we are faced challenges filled with pain and suffering. But through it all God is present and at working to fulfill our life's destiny.
Ps. 138:8, summarizes this idea. It states that God will perfect the things concerning us in our individual lives. He will bring about the good He intended for us. Why? because His mercy is towards those He has created and it will never end. He cares for all his creation. He will never leave it to chance or have a "come what may" attitude. The scripture states that He will not forsake the works of His hands- this includes all that is in the earth, in the sea, and in the heavens.
This is comforting when we consider the level of uncertainty today. We have no assurance of a clear and prosperous future- illness can attack us suddenly, lost of income, death, wars, divisions, uprisings, natural disasters, etc. All these things are possible everyday. To those that are not seeking God to help make sense of it all and to understand their obligation to him as their creator, the times may seem chaotic and hopeless. But, for us who know our God and put our trust in him, we can weather the storms of life. Because we know He is right by our side helping us along the way, even when times are good or when they are bad(Matt. 7:24-25). We stand firm knowing that his mercy endures forever and that He is perfecting us through the storms(Heb. 2:9-10).
Shalam,
