When All Is Well
Proverbs 28:14
“We must not wait until we are at the end of our tether. [God] must be found at the centre of life: in life, and not only in death; in health and vigour, and not only in suffering; in activity, and not only in sin.”
—LETTERS AND PAPERS FROM PRISON
Living in grateful dependence on God, when we are well and active and in possession of all the things we need for daily life, is a miracle of the grace of God. We need to be kept by the love of God in a far greater measure when all is well than when we are sick or in distress and difficulty. While we so often think of God as Helper, we need to discover that He is also the Builder who shapes our normal existence.
Meditation
God is not only the Savior; He is also the providential sustainer of our whole life.
