...and you shall know

that I have not done

without cause

all that I have done in it,

     declares the LORD.

 

              Ezekiel 14. 23

(Even though 

I do not understand,

God always bears

profound purposes

     in many dimensions 

     and delicate layers

of which I am not aware

   nor cannot comprehend.

Nothing is ever random 

but by His intricate design.

Even the really hard stuff 

does not lay

beyond His redeeming.)
