The Wisdom of God

I've been reading "The Knowledge of the Holy" by A.W. Tozer on and off as of late, and just a couple minutes ago stumbled upon this gem:

"It is vitally important that we hold the truth of God's infinite wisdom as a tenet of our reed; but this is not enough. We must by the exercise of faith and by prayer bring it into the practical world of our day-by-day experience.

To believe actively that our Heavenly Father constantly spreads around us providential circumstances that work for our present good and our everlasting well-being brings to the soul a veritable benediction. Most of us go through life praying a little, planning a little, jockeying for position, hoping but never being quite certain of anything, and always secretly afraid that we will miss the way. This is a tragic waste of truth and never gives rest to the heart.

There is a better way. It is to repudiate our own wisdom and take instead the infinite wisdom of God. Our insistence upon seeing ahead is natural enough, but it is a real hindrance to our spiritual progress. God has charged Himself with full responsibility for our eternal happiness and stands ready to take over the management of our lives the moment we turn in faith to Him. Here is His promise: "And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will i do unto them, and not forsake them." Isaiah 42:16
(pg. 97)

If only we would trust that God in his wisdom sovereignly is working ALL things for the good of those who love him, who are called according to His purpose. How different would our day-to-day life look?
