Mysterious Sovereign

The more I study and understand world history, the more it becomes real to me that we, as humans, are basically the same. Not much has truly changed from ancient times up to the present. All are sinners, all are wicked, looking for their own fulfillment or pleasure, seeking it by their own power. As I see pagan influences and beliefs being renewed and spread in Europe and America, I see that we live in a world not that much different than the time or Noah, or Abraham, or the prophets. At seeing people, both past and present, seek out and worship money, nature, their own inner spirit, how can we not grieve at this wickedness? What is this we have done? What destruction have we brought on ourselves?

Yet seeing, amidst all this, seeing God working, from the very beginning up until now, and even through to the end. He works through history, through corrupted flesh, continually working out His plan, moving things slowly but carefully and continually toward His ultimate goal. How beautiful is His mercy to us! It is sweater than honey and nourishment to our souls.

God, move among Your people. Break us, cleans us, heal us. Savior, come quickly and redeem Your creation, to the praise of Your glory. Amen.
