Those of you who are as old as I am will certainly remember a TV show with that title....."Father Knows Best". And as we saw the exploits of Bud and Betty and Kathy, by the time our thirty minutes with the Anderson family were done, we always knew it to be true......father did indeed know best.
That was true for the fictional Anderson family. Perhaps it was true in your family as well. And it is certainly true when we consider our Heavenly Father.
Even when things don't turn out exactly as we might have hoped.
Even when it is cold and rainy on the weekend of Spring Fling and your church had many ministry opportunities scheduled outdoors.
Even when it's May and it doesn't feel like spring at all.
Even when it's May and it's still snowing where you live.
Even when you have fervently prayed for revival in your land but you're not seeing the hoped-for answer to that prayer.
Even when your candidate didn't get elected, even though you had fervently prayed.
Even when you get a medical diagnosis that rocks your world.
Even when circumstances are not at all what you had hoped for.
Even then.
Our Heavenly Father knows best. His ways are not our ways. But His plan is always best.
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55:8 ESV)
