Beautiful Blending
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God” (Rom. 8:28).
How wide is this assertion of the Apostle Paul!
He does not say, “We know that some things,”
-or “most things,”
-or “joyous things,”
But “ALL things.”
And all things “work!’
They are working!
– not all things have worked,
– or shall work!
But it is a present operation!
At this very moment-
– when some voice may be saying, “Thy judgments are a great deep,” the angels above, who are watching the development of the great plan, are with folded wings exclaiming:
“The LORD is righteous in all his ways and loving toward all he has made. ” Ps. 145:17.
All things “work together!”
It is a beautiful blending!!
Many different colours, in themselves raw and unsightly, are required in order to weave the harmonious pattern.
Many separate tones and notes of music, even discords and dissonances, are required to make up the harmonious anthem.
Many separate wheels and joints are required to make the piece of machinery.
Take a thread separately, or a note separately, or a wheel or a tooth of a wheel separately, and there may be neither use nor beauty discernible.
But complete the web, combine the notes, connect the separate parts of steel and iron, and you see how perfect and symmetrical is the result.
Here is the lesson for faith:
“What I do you know not now!
But you shall know hereafter!!”
