January 18
“As for God, his way is perfect” (Psa. 18:30).
God always looks at the end from the beginning. This is something that we human beings
cannot easily understand, but if we wait patiently, God Himself will teach us.
From the time God called David He had for him a very high and heavenly purpose, though
David did not realise this for many years. We also, when we first come to the Lord in
repentance, do not know what is in the mind of God for us in saving us, at that time we are
only concerned about being forgiven, washed, cleansed, and made righteous before God, and
when He does begin to teach us His own way we begin to question Him or even resist Him.
But we see from the Word of God that, through difficulties of different kinds, God seeks to
reveal His mind clearly and progressively to us. Everything experienced in life begins to have
a deeper and a more heavenly and eternal meaning. We find that God is leading us in His own
way, according to His own mind, thought and plan, we shall find that we have to wait very
patiently to learn the mind of God.
