I enjoy classical music. (I also like Led Zeppelin). All music originates as a composition created by the composer but only comes to life as the conductor transforms the notes on a page and brings them to life and sound through the musicians and their instruments.
Our God, the only true and wise God, is a creative composer, manifested by His creative sovereign plans. But we only see the plans revealed as He, the divine conductor, plays His providential score in real time.
In today’s chaotic and confused world, it is often difficult to see the providential hand of God at work, let alone evidence of a divine plan. Life seems like a “crapshoot” with all its frantic and frenzied events that seem to have no relationship with reason or link to logic. Read the newspaper, watch TV, listen to the radio, and see if the events of the day make sense or seem senseless to you.
In the midst of all the noise and the muddle of the world, it is sometimes difficult to perceive, understand, and appreciate the sovereign plans of God as they are worked out through His providential care for my life. “Care for my life? You mean God cares for me?”
Remember the divine perspective that Joseph came to understand as his brothers sought to kill him. “You meant it for evil, but God meant it for good” (Genesis 50:20)
