Wiser Words

“Keep praying, but be thankful that
God’s answers are wiser than your prayers.”
William Culbertson (1905-1971)

Worldly wisdom worms its way into my prayers, but God’s wisdom is always at work. Thanks be to God!

  1. God, I know you’re pretty smart,
    and You have more wisdom,
    but I am being torn apart,
    and Your insight is my doom.
    Yes, I know of the Beyond,
    and forever I’ll remain,
    but standing here upon this ground
    all I have is pain.
    Your purpose may be higher still
    and I don’t pretend to know,
    but do You really wish me ill?
    How far wrong did I go?
    I won’t complain, but should I lament
    at cancer as your judgement?

  2. God is good. God is faithful. God is just. Somehow the knowing of these truths is freeing to me. I know I can trust Him no matter what, no matter how hard it is, no matter how contradictory it may seem from my perspective. Like others, I stress, get confused, don’t understand, despair. Nevertheless, through it all I know God knows what I do not. I can rest in that knowledge.
