Perfect Wisdom

Today in church my brother-in-law, Jim, sang a song that really moved me. The song is "Perfect Wisdom of Our God" by Keith and Kristyn Getty. This past week, I have felt overwhelmed. Thing after thing kept happening that was not part of "my plan". God has been working on me the past few years that my way is usually not what God has planned for me. I have learned that God's way is ALWAYS best even if I do not see that at first. I do not know why certain things happened this week, and I do not know if I will ever know, but I do know that God is in control of everything and He allows everything to happen for a reason. I can rest in Him alone. Here are the lyrics to the song and I hope they are an encouragement to you.

Perfect Wisdom of Our God

The perfect wisdom of our God,
Revealed in all the universe:
All things created by His hand,
And held together at His command.
He knows the mysteries of the seas,
The secrets of the stars are His;
He guides the planets on their way,
And turns the earth through another day.

The matchless wisdom of His ways,
That mark the path of righteousness;
His word a lamp unto my feet,
His Spirit teaching and guiding me.
And oh, the mystery of the cross,
That God should suffer for the lost
So that the fool might shame the wise,
And all the glory might go to Christ!

Oh grant me wisdom from above,
To pray for peace and cling to love,
And teach me humbly to receive
The sun and rain of Your sovereignty.
Each strand of sorrow has a place
Within this tapestry of grace;
So through the trials I choose to say:
“Your perfect will in your perfect way.”
