God doesn’t want us to fear, he wants us to leave our idols and he wants us to know he is great and able. In order to know his greatness, he shows us his great plans and his great works in us. God has a unique plan for each of us, a plan that includes our good in his purposes. God is ordaining kings and moving history in order to refine and shape his Church. That can mean chapters of our lives spent in darkness, but there are treasures that he has for us, even in our darkest times! We must look to Christ and put our hope in the hands of the Potter if we are ever to find satisfaction in what he’s shaping us to be.
