Ephes. 1:9-14 (NLT)
God's secret plan has now been revealed to us; it is a plan centered on Christ, designed long ago according to his good pleasure. And this is his plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth. Furthermore, because of Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us from the beginning, and all things happen just as he decided long ago. God's purpose was that we who were the first to trust in Christ should praise our glorious God. And now you also have heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago. The Spirit is God's guarantee that he will give us everything he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. This is just one more reason for us to praise our glorious God.
One thing is certain in this life, we will never, while in these bodies, understand why certain things happen or the timing of certain things like the sudden loss of a loved one. The good news is that we don't have to understand it, we have no need to try to wrap our minds around it at all. It would be futile.
All through the word God promises us that He is Sovereign and very much in control and we cant even begin to understand the mind of God.
While loss's come suddenly at times, and we may be found to question why, and answers seem far off, know this, That God is always in control and we need to keep our eyes on Him in all things and in every situation. Remember that He has known us from the start and will see us through to the end, and in the meantime we are to praise Him.
