"Jesus said to them, 'My Father is always at hs work to this very day, and I, too, am working.'' - John 5:17
Because we are so prone to neglecting and forgetting about the needs of other people, we think that God is capable of being slothful toward us. And so we accuse Him of neglecting us when circumstances become painful, or simply not to our liking.
Isn't that the way our lowly, self-centered nature works?
When we are awakened in the Spirit we see that God never sleeps (Psalm 121:2-5) -- that He is always moving about His work and that our lives are moved to seek and understand His purpose for our life so we can co-labor with Him in advancing His Kingdom under His all-wise directing.
Now, as we awaken in spirit, we are able to see that He looks upon us in compassion, His eyes brimming over with flowing grace -- that His works are good....and only good.
