One day we shall find the reason for all things. For now it is one day at a time walking by faith. One day we shall find the reason why the Father loved us so much to give us his only begotten son. No matter the depth of our preaching and no matter how deep we search, the reason can still not be found here in time but in eternity. One day we shall find the reason why our lot fell to us in the generation that we lived.
One day we shall find the reason why we loved and lost and why we lost to love again. We shall find the reason why we were betrayed and why we had to suffer shame and reproach and dishonor. I shall look into the eyes of the One who is all-wise and all knowing and I shall ask him the reason for all workings of His counsel that was a painful grief and mystery to us. I look forward to that day when I shall know even as I am known by Him.
One day there shall be a crystallization of all that dumbfounded us. We shall see the wisdom of our casting down and of the days it seemed the sun and the moon did withdraw their lights from us. One day we shall find all mysteries resolved and we shall stand in awe of the great love and wisdom of the Holy One of the eternal ages of ages. When we shall rejoice that certain prayers and petitions were not answered according to our desperate inclinations. The young maiden shall find her answer and the young man shall find his own answers. The old man and the child together shall find their own answers as well. The preacher shall see clearly and the unlearned shall come to understanding. For right here right now we all see through a glass darkly but then we shall see face to face and come to all full and complete knowledge.
The orphan shall appreciate the grace of the eternal fatherhood. The widow shall be in great wonderment that she could not behold his maker as her husband. What of the sweet precious child whose future was taken away by the evil ones of the earth? What would the poor say to the rich who had it all more than heart could desire while they languished in wantonness? There shall be no question that will not be given an eternal answer of great wisdom. So I must rest my case with Him and always judge Him faithful, fully persuaded that He is absolute good and gracious and that He gave to man the life of experiences!
Some would ask why they had to go through the long hard route and some would also ask why they were always the ones that knew the depths of pain and grief and sorrow while others knew the joys of that which was but a temporal life. I earnestly wait for that One day of all. It shall be the day when the Lord shall reign before His ancients gloriously!
Oh! that One day! That glorious One day when the sun shall no longer set and all things are in full and final restitution!
Oh! That One day!!!
