“The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.”
Deuteronomy 33:27 

Jesus is actively involved in our lives. Nothing happens accidentally – everything that takes place in our lives is ordained and planned by God. That’s why we can relax and trust the Lord, even in the midst of great trials and tribulations. He has us in His very capable hands. Our heavenly Father is looking out for our best interests, and sometimes that means we may be denied certain things that we think we need.

When I look back at my life, I am thankful that God didn’t answer some of my prayers in the affirmative. I can see now that some of the things I desired would have destroyed me. God’s “no’s” are bathed in His compassion. He sees the bigger picture and knows what’s best for us. We need to trust his judgment.
