When Don Jerge call this past Monday evening with the news that because of sudden medical problems he would not be able to be here in view of a call this weekend and that the knee replacements would take months, my first concern was encouraging him in the Lord. My second concern was of course the church and the Pastor Search Committee. There is disappointment all around. But, deeper than any human disappointment there is the truth of the providence of God. He is in control and as the heavens are higher than the earth so are His thoughts higher than our thoughts and His ways higher than our ways. There are many things in the moment that we cannot understand, but we know that our God is never surprised, never is mistaken and that His purposes are perfect. The providence of God calls us to lay aside our anxieties and be still and know that He is God. The providence of God calls us to seek wisdom and discernment in His will. The providence of God gives sure faith that what God does is for our good and His glory.
