"God works out His plans, though to human eyes they are veiled in mystery. Men cannot understand the ways of God; and, looking at appearances, they interpret the trials and tests and provings that God permits to come upon them as things that are against them, and that will only work their ruin." -EGW, Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 672
Same situation, two different views. Mine and God's. One is shrouded in fog. The other has God's clarity in every mountain and in every valley. Oddly enough, they both still have beauty. Faith is trusting that the second scene exists even though the first is all I see.
"Providences that are now mysterious you may solve by continued trust in God." -EGW, Prophets and Kings, p. 175
