...Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan His work in vain;
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain.
I told you the wrong words for the blind unbelief verse of the hymn. We have lost much in not studying this one. We are groping for the purposes in the providences sent to us. Why am I...? whatever the question it is the blindness of the not knowing why a providence that has come upon us has come that troubles us. We cannot search out God, no matter how we try. Living before God with a clear and cleansed conscience is all we can hope to do. Growing in grace to do our duty before God and to imitate Him.
Let us try to practice being open eyed to the good purposes of God in our lives. The easy things and the hard things. God has purposes of making us like Him. He has purposes of making us get along with others. He disciplines us to grow us up. Love is always His purpose in what He allows and purposes.
The more we learn of Him, the more we should be able to see that.
