Musing – When will it all make “Perfect Sense”?

Hebraic Musing – When will it all make “Perfect Sense”?

In the Genesis saga of Joseph and adventures of his wayward brothers and of Jacob’s worrying, we get to see the moment when it all makes “Perfect Sense”.  After all Jacob’s family went through, finally the brothers hear this awesome dude, Egypt’s Prime Minister, say to them “I am Joseph! Is my father still living?" Gen 45:3    Finally the angst they had been suffering started to make sense.  The hand of Almighty God was finally being revealed.

I like Rabbi Eckstein’s perspective:

This scene (Joseph’s revelation of his identity) will be re-enacted again at the End of Days when God reveals Himself to the world and says, “I am God.” Suddenly, everything will make sense to us and we will understand how everything—even those things that don’t seem to make sense now – are all for a good purpose.  When God reveals Himself to the world, we won’t have any more questions.

No matter how bad things may seem at the moment, one day it will all make “Perfect Sense”.  And as for those who are choosing to ignore God, will they too find that their final judgement verdict makes “Perfect Sense”.

Does it seem possible for you today to imagine that all the bad things – losses, trials, tribulations, persecutions, etc. – will all make sense?  Have you ever looked back at a time of trouble or a loss and realized that there was a reason for it?  And that you grew and matured from the experience?

Maybe this has something to do with having faith.  Do we want Cast Iron Faith, or are we better off with Forged Steel Faith?    The forging process requires heat, pounding, sparks, noise and time.  Ask any mechanic if he would rather lean on a cast iron wrench or a forged steel wrench?  

Points to ponder

Can we trust Almighty God today
that what is happening makes “Perfect Sense” to Him?

“But I trust in your unfailing love;” Ps 13:5
