Until we have accounted for the faithful presence and power of God at work in our every circumstance, we do not truly know or understand our circumstances and so are doomed to making poor decisions and following poor advice. The peace of God in the midst of every circumstance requires that we see him in all circumstances and see all circumstances by him. If we fail to remember this and account for it - and recount it to one another! - we will always respond poorly and inadequately, in ways that only deepen and complicate our problems - and cause further damage to ourselves and to those around us.
