“你要察看神的作为，因神使为曲的，谁能变为直呢？”（传道书七章 13 节）
神似乎常把祂的儿女放在极困难的处境中，使他们无法逃避，也无法解决。也许你正在这样的处境中。
似乎你的遭遇是顶烦恼、顶严重，你也不懂得为什麽神要如此待你，但是神的处理决没有错误。不久你就会看见祂的美意。你所处的地位是一个戏台，你正在戏台上表演神的荣耀、恩典和权能。
祂不只要施行拯救；祂也要藉此使你学习一个不能遗忘的功课，叫你在事情经过之后， 还能常常唱出新的讚美，发出足够的感谢来。 ── 选
Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked (Eccles. 7:13).
Often God seems to place His children in positions of profound difficulty, leading them into a wedge from which there is no escape; contriving a situation which no human judgment would have permitted, had it been previously consulted. The very cloud conducts them thither. You may be thus involved at this very hour.
It does seem perplexing and very serious to the last degree, but it is perfectly right. The issue will more than justify Him who has brought you hither. It is a platform for the display of His almighty grace and power.
He will not only deliver you; but in doing so, He will give you a lesson that you will never forget, and to which, in many a psalm and song, in after days, you will revert. You will never be able to thank God enough for having done just as He has.
--Selected
We may wait till He explains,
Because we know that Jesus reigns.
It puzzles me; but, Lord, Thou understandest,
And wilt one day explain this crooked thing.
Meanwhile, I know that it has worked out Thy best--
Its very crookedness taught me to cling.
Thou hast fenced up my ways, made my paths crooked,
To keep my wand'ring eyes fixed on Thee;
To make me what I was not, humble, patient;
To draw my heart from earthly love to Thee.
So I will thank and praise Thee for this puzzle,
And trust where I cannot understand.
Rejoicing Thou dost hold me worth such testing,
I cling the closer to Thy guiding hand.
