ome take the providence of God and become fatalistic; whatever happens happens! I’m just going to sit here and not do anything. Everything is always the same. Every year is the same. It will always be as it has always been. It’s kind of like Eeyore, the pessimistic donkey character in Winnie the Pooh. There are some Eeyoore Christians out there.
There is hopelessness in their heart. Sometimes this is because things have not gone in the past as we thought. Prayers were not answered. The same issues creep up year after year. The same people still have the same flaws and do not seem to change. Perhaps the timing of things was off than we expected. We feel disappointed and sometimes in despair.
But the human side of divine providence believes that God is good and He is always working in situations and wants my best for His glory. It was Yahweh’s kindness through Boaz that propelled Naomi again. Believers, we need to look around again in our lives and see that God has been working! Therefore, I must look for opportunities in life and seize them, considering them to be possibly gifts of God, even if I have been disappointed in the past. Remember the enemy would want you in despair and not do anything. God would want to put hope in your soul.
