God knows what He’s doing and knows what’s best for YOU.
at first you’d like to ask God to compromise between A and B, forming solution C, or maybe a 25/75 cut to form solution D, or a 75/25 cut to form solution E.
And then you have to remember God doesn’t compromise on perfection, an attribute of his bigger plan
You ask a little why… what happened? Maybe even a little why me?
Then you have 2 choices. You either become disappointed and hurt yourself asking the why as you stay stuck or you accept and embrace it and embrace God.
As time passes we look back and we suddenly see the bigger picture and it all makes sense. But right now, it probably won’t altho disappointing and may make no sense.
In lesser words: You just keep going and keep focused upwards.
Hey sis,
The answer to the question would be — you humbly submit to the sovereign will of God. Since you believe Him to be Lord over all and ultimately has your good in mind in His glorious purposes, then you should embrace the fact that God intended in His decreed will that you have B in this moment in your life.
I commend to you Packer’s latest book, Guard Us, Guide Us: Divine Leading in Life’s Decisions.
The publisher has provided a chapter 4 for free in PDF that is very worth reading, entitled Guided By the Word of God. Packer explains in order to be guided by His Word, we must be guided by God’s commands, God’s Book, God’s law, and God’s mind.
