God's Will Is Done

Your love, God, fills the earth! Train me to live by your counsel.
Psalm 119:64, The Message

"Taking into account the rebellious passions ... and slothful wills of millions of people, along with the good intentions, misguided helpfulness and ill-timed ventures of other millions -- not to speak of the disciplined love ... and sacrificial service of still other millions -- our Sovereign presides over and works with all this material, personal and political. With it and out of it he shapes existence. He seems to be in no hurry. But prayer discerns that leisure is not indolence. Slowness is not slackness. In the end the sovereign will is done."
