Looking
at the big picture, the Babylonian Captivity seems to have been a key moment in
the knowledge of the Lord going forth out of the nationalistic religion it had
been and into becoming the worldwide religion it became. I can’t imagine the people at that time could
have understood it if you had told them that because of their captivity, the
knowledge of the Lord would go forward into all the world, the world would
progress to the point where just about every man and woman alive had heard of
the Messiah, or that the most well-known book in the world began with “In the
beginning…”
So too
with each of our lives. Sometimes,
looking back, I recognize that the greatest moments for my life were the
moments that were the worst moments of my life (when I was going through them).
Having experienced that enough now in my
life, I find myself better able to accept that when difficulties come I can
trust the Lord to handle things and simply work on learning what He would have
me to learn.
