We know God is doing whatever He pleases, which is ultimately for our good and His glory (Psalm 135:6).
Understanding what God is doing can be challenging, especially in a world filled with uncertainty and strife. However, Psalm 135 declares that whatever the Lord pleases, that does He in heaven and on earth. This asserts that God's actions are never random or arbitrary; instead, they are governed by His will and purpose. For the believer, this truth brings comfort, as it assures us that everything that happens is under God's control and is orchestrated for our ultimate good. John Newton's thought encapsulates this well: 'Everything is needful that He sends, and nothing is needful that He withholds.' Recognizing God's sovereignty in all aspects of life compels us to trust Him deeply, even when we may not understand His purposes.
