Divine Arrangements

Divine Arrangements

“There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens.  A time to be born, and a time to die.” (Ecclesiastes 3: 1 – 2)

God’s loving, wise and powerful providence operates through the cosmic cycles, times and seasons or divine arrangements.  Just as there are cycles of planting and harvesting, there are also cycles of poverty and riches and of health and sickness.

What is the purpose of the divine arrangements?  The law of divine providence implies that the cosmic cycles work positively for man.  God is saving man through every event, every circumstance whether positive or negative.   The cosmic cycles exist to serve man.  In the divine arrangement, no condition is permanent.

Today, the Enterprise is in a critical phase and I am cheered by the thought that God’s loving providence is directing it step by step and moment by moment.  I suffer delays but how wonderful it is to realize that this does not escape God’s providence.  “How great you are, O Lord my God!  How wonderful are your ways!   How good to remember that all things work together for good for those who love you.”  Delays, obstacles and disappointments are working marvelously for me.  This is God’s divine arrangements, his word and not the word of man.  It is the truth.  I accept it with faith.
