God is good...

... even when we don't understand.

"He will tend his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms;he will carry them in his bosom, and gently lead those that are with young. Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand and marked off the heavens with a span,enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure and weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance? Who has measured the Spirit of the LORD, or what man shows him his counsel? Whom did he consult, and who made him understand? Who taught him the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and showed him the way of understanding?" Isaiah 40:11-14

Last night, Knox passed away.

It all seems so far beyond my understanding. I know that God is good. I know that all things will work together for the good of those who love Him. And I know that God cares for His own more than anything. Yet, I don't know how all this aligns in the death of Knox.

But, God's plans are higher than any of my plans. As I was reading Isaiah, seeking comfort, I was reminded how awesome our God is. Even when situations don't make sense, I know that he is good.

Please continue to keep the Anderson family in your prayers. As a parent, I cant' even begin to imagine the sorrow that they are filled with. But I do know the hope that they are filled with. And even through this time, I see them clinging to that Hope.

"The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous
and his ears toward their cry.
The face of the LORD is against those who do evil,
to cut off the memory of them from the earth.
When the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears
and delivers them out of all their troubles.
The LORD is near to the brokenhearted
and saves the crushed in spirit."

Psalm 34: 15-18
