God's Ways Are Diverse

"We fall into grievous error when we entertain this kind of idea! God's ways are diverse -- from the beginning to the end, God the Father, God the Holy Spirit and our Lord Jesus Christ act sovereignly and do not choose to follow one particular mode of action in every case." ~Charles Spurgeon

A sure way to lose your trust in God is to assume that He always acts in a certain way in every case. This is not true. God is a judge and often deals justly with humanity (think of the worldwide flood), but has also swallowed up justice by His mercy as a wonderful Savior (think of the fact that we are guilty criminals who have been saved by the cross). God is also both a King and a humble servant (Jesus, the King of Kings, came not to be served, but to serve) and sovereignly chooses when to demonstrate each of His individual attributes. The key to understanding God's mysterious ways is to trust His character. His actions are always right because His wisdom is perfect, His love is pure, and His power is unstoppable. ~Kirk Cameron
