Why Me?
October 28, 2011
Recently I read Psalm 131, one of my favorite psalms. In the past, I viewed it as an encouragement to understand that mystery is one of the hallmarks of Gods character. It challenged me to let my mind be at rest, since I am unable to understand all that God is doing in His universe.
But then I saw another side of Davids calm spirit: I am unable to understand all that God is doing in me, and it is impossible to try.
David draws a comparison between a weaned child that no longer frets for what it once demanded, and a soul that has learned the same lesson. It is a call to learn humility, patient endurance, and contentment in all my circumstanceswhatever they arethough I do not understand Gods reasons. Divine logic is beyond the grasp of my mind.
I ask, Why this affliction? Why this anguish? The Father answers, Hush, child. You wouldnt understand if I explained it to you. Just trust Me!
So, I turn from contemplating Davids example to ask myself: Can I, in my circumstances, hope in the Lord? (v.3). Can I wait in faith and patience without fretting and without questioning Gods wisdom? Can I trust Him while He works in me His good, acceptable, and perfect will?
It may not be for me to see
The meaning and the mystery
Of all that God has planned for me
Till afterward! Anon.
In a world of mystery, its a comfort
to know the God who knows all things.
Read: Psalm 131
