Click Here Future Understanding Day 198 One answer God gives Christians to the question why is the assurance that one day you will be able to see things from His perspective. "He is going to wipe away those tears by giving you knowledge," states Dr. Erwin Lutzer. "Finally, you shall look at everything from His viewpoint. Finally, you shall rejoice in the justice of God. Finally, you shall see the mercy and the lovingkindness of God set against His holiness and His greatness. And when you see that, you will be content." God is just and good, and His plan is wholly good. "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away" (Revelation 21:4). God, forgive my impatience; I would rather see Your perspective now. Grant me the wisdom and the patience to wait on You and to trust in Your perfect plan. Amen.
