History is like a giant piece of fabric
with very intricate and complex patterns. During the limited span of our
lifetimes we see only a tiny fraction of the pattern. Furthermore, as has been
observed by others, we see the pattern from the underside. The underside of a
weaving usually makes no sense. Even the upper side makes little sense if we
view just a tiny piece. Only God sees the upper side, and only He sees the
entire fabric with its complete pattern. Therefore, we must trust Him to work
out all the details of history to His glory, knowing that His glory and our
good are bound together.

God”
