God guides them all. They all have micro purposes and macro purposes. He cannot tell us all of them because our brains can’t hold all of them. <br />Trust does not demand more than God has told us. And he has given us immeasurably precious promises that he is in control of all things and only does good to his children. And he has given us a very thick book where we can read story after story after story about how he rules for the good of his people.Ikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09595879576794400791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585502715953575954.post-5516199871055413072010-09-14T03:58:10.337-04:002010-09-14T03:58:10.337-04:00Good thoughts here oldest daughter!
