Constancy October 7, 2014

⁶ And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”  Galatians 4:6 ESV

Resignation to the Divine Will signifies a cheerful approbation and thankful acceptance of everything that comes from God. It is not enough patiently to submit, but we must thankfully receive and fully approve of everything that, by the order of God's providence, happens to us. For there is no reason why we should be patient, but what is as good and as strong a reason why we should be thankful. Whenever, therefore, you find yourself disposed to uneasiness or murmuring at any thing that is the effect of God's providence over you, you must look upon yourself as denying either the wisdom or goodness of God.
W.M. Law*

The last sentence from Mr. Law's passage is very telling. If we are "disposed to uneasiness or murmuring" at anything God has allowed into our lives, we question God's goodness or wisdom.

I got a promotion.  God is good.  I lost my job.  God is not good.
I am in love.  God is good.  My wife left me.  God doesn't know what He is doing.
My child just graduated college.  God is good.  My child has cancer.  God is mean.

It is not fair to God to give Him credit for wisdom and love during the good times, then question those traits when things start to fall apart.  God's constancy is one of the foundational pieces in a Christian's belief system.

A:  God is good.
B:  All the time.
A:  All the time.
B:  God is good.

You could substitute any of God's characteristics for "good".

A:  God is wise.
B:  All the time.
A:  All the time.
B:  God is wise.

A:  God is love.
B:  All the time.
A:  All the time.
B:  God is love.
