Nothing Is Amiss

"All this shewed He full blissfully, signifying thus: 'See! I am God: see! I am in all thing: see! I do all thing: see! I lift never mine hands off my works, nor ever shall, without end: see! I lead all thing to the end I ordained it to from without beginning, by the same Might, Wisdom and Love whereby I made it. How should any thing be amiss?'"

Julian of Norwich (Ch. 11)

If God has planned everything perfectly from the very beginning, and has known how everything would happen all along, and has had the end from the beginning already secure and sure, then how could anything be amiss? If God is wise enough to know how to make all things come out to the best end, and powerful enough to bring that to pass, and loving enough to want the best for all of us, then how could anything truly go wrong in the ultimate sense? If God has always planned for all of us, His created children, to be united in Christ and a part of the fellowship of the Trinity family, and has always kept and preserved us for Him since the beginning, and has always been working in human history to bring about this beautiful plan, how could the ending be anything but perfect and beautiful? No matter that is going on here, or how messy life gets, somehow everything is perfect, somehow everything is working out for the very best in the end. Somehow, nothing is amiss!

"For God had allowed us to know the secret of His plan, and it is this: He purposes in His sovereign will that all human history shall be consummated in Christ, that everything that exists in Heaven or earth shall find its perfection and fulfillment in Him."

Ephesisans 1:10

"From the beginning I predicted the outcome, long ago I foretold what would happen. I said that My plans would never fail, that I would do everything I intended to do."

Isaiah 46:10 (GNT)

A Prayer: Thank You that You are ultimately in charge of everything, so nothing can really go wrong for us; ultimately everything will go right for us with You!


May the amazing grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, and the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. 2 Co. 13:14
