Our God is a God who not merely restores, but takes our mistakes and follies into his plan for us and brings good out of them. This is part of the wonder of his gracious sovereignty. The Jesus who restored Peter after his denial and corrected his course more than once after that, is our Savior today and he has not changed. God makes not only the wrath of man turn to praise but the misadventures of Christians too.
Not merely does God guide us by showing us the way so we may tread it; he also wills to guide us more fundamentally by ensuring that, whatever happens, whatever mistakes we make, we shall come home safely. Slippings and strayings there will be, no doubt, but with the everlasting arms beneath us, we shall be caught, rescued, restored.
In God's Presence, December 3
