Ray Pritchard Quote
My favorite definition of faith comes from Philip Yancey: Faith means believing in advance what will only make sense in reverse. Many things in this life make no sense to us. It’s only as we look back that we say, I can see why it had to happen that way. So it is for all of us. God often sends us to Egypt to protect us and to prepare us for what is to come. Do not despair if you feel like you are in Egypt today. What seems like a punishment or a detour may turn out to be a great gift from the Lord. When we view our trials through the lens of God’s providence, they turn out to be gifts from heaven. This is true even when our trials seem like a great burden. God knows what he is doing even when we can’t see it. Father, help us to trust you when the way forward seems unclear.
