“All who see me mock me; they make mouths at me; they wag their heads; ‘he trusts in the LORD; let him deliver him; let him rescue him, for he delights in him!’
“Yet you are he who took me from the womb; you made me trust you at my mother’s breasts,” (Ps 22:7-9).
As Easter nears, remember that Jesus always trusted God during the incarnation. From his mother’s womb, from his mother’s breasts. And remember, ’no deceit was found in his mouth’… ever.
Jesus’s trusting of God allowed God’s will to be accomplished through his life. God’s will was his death.
Sometimes if circumstances seem unjust, unfair, overwhelming- not as a cause of disobedience but a result of obedience - it may be God’s hand moving to bloom the fruit of fruition.
William Cowper, a sickly saint acquainted with a suicidal darkness noted on the mysterious movements of God, ”His purposes will ripen fast, unfolding every hour. The bud may have a bitter taste, but sweet will be the flower.”
Don’t lose hope of the divine flower of God bringing his work to completion in your life.
