The Beauty of God's Ways

Read this today from Oswald Chambers, and was thought-provoked and encouraged.

My Utmost for His Highest - August 10
The Sacrament Of The Saint (abridged)

"Let them that suffer according to the will of God, commit the keeping of their souls to Him in well-doing." 1 Peter 4:19

...The saint who satisfies the heart of Jesus will make other saints strong and mature for God. The people who do us good are never those who sympathize with us, they always hinder, because sympathy enervates. No one understands a saint but the saint who is nearest to the Saviour....
Notice God's unutterable waste of saints, according to the judgment of the world. God plants His saints in the most useless places. We say - God intends me to be here because I am so useful. Jesus never estimated His life along the line of the greatest use. God puts His saints where they will glorify Him, and we are no judges at all of where that is.

Once again: I am caused to marvel and worship at the immense mystery and beauty of God's economy and ways. What a worthy Lord!
