It is impressive
to me how sanguine Jared and his brother are. After all, the represented the end of
everything they ever knew or loved. Their
civilization was over, their culture was destroyed, and they were to leave and
go to a land they had never before known. But they understood that the Lord could bless
them much better than they could control their own lives. And so, because of their faith, they could
respond to this difficult time in such a peaceful way.
I have
experienced similar events inn my life – not that my language has changed, but
I have been moved against my will and lost all those things that I hoped to
achieve in my life. The experience is
painful, but I too can attest to the truth that the Lord can bring us peace and
happiness from circumstances that we would never want. It is a matter if we will trust Him or not.
