God Moves in a Mysterious Way

Seth died this morning. My heart aches for the Van Wienen family who lost a son, a brother. I hope and pray that God will comfort them with the peace that passes understanding; the peace that belongs to those who are Christ's. His mind, His design is perfect and wise and we can not begin to attempt the "why's" or "what if's," but must trust like a little child trusts his parents. Praise God that when we mourn it is not without hope! May God be glorified in the lives of His people who have been touched by this loss.

"God Moves in a Mysterious Way"

a hymn by William Cowper

God moves in a mysterious way

His wonders to perform;

He plants His footsteps in the sea

and rides upon the storm.

Deep in unfathomable mines

of never failing skill,

He treasures up His bright designs

and works His soverign will.

Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;

the clouds ye so much dread

Are big with mercy and shall break

in blessings on your head.

His purposes will ripen fast

unfolding every hour;

The bud may have a bitter taste,

but sweet will be the flower.

Blind unbelief is sure to err

and scan His work in vain;

God is His own Interpreter

and He will make it plain.
