Father knows best!

J.R. Miller, “The Shining Light”

“ And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.” — Psalm 107:7

God leads every one of His children by the right way. He knows where and under what influences, each particular life will mature best.
One tree grows best in the sheltered valley, another by the water’s edge, another on the bleak mountain-top swept by storms. Every tree or plant is found in the precise locality where the conditions for its growth exist.
And does God give more thought to trees and plants, than to His own children?
He places us amid the circumstances and experiences in which our life will grow and mature into Christlikeness. The peculiar discipline to which we are each subjected, is the discipline we each need to bring out in us the beauties and graces of true spiritual character. Our heavenly Father knows what is best–He makes no mistakes!

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.” — Romans 8:28-29
