..."will she live?"
" I who know many present things by my art," replied the Hermit with a smile, "Have yet little knowledge of things future. Therefore I do not know whether any man or woman or beast in the whole world will be alive when the sun sets tonight. But be of good hope. The damsel is likely to live as long as any her age."

This same thought seems to be pursuing me these last few days. I continue to hear the same idea, said in different ways. Just as the Hermit implies, likelyhood is a far different thing than certainty. We can not be certain of, often, even the most certain things.

and,yet, how often we seek more, unsatisfied. Regardless,

God has no pretense
God is always truth
God is always grace
God does not manipulate.

We most certainly can recklessly trust in God's sovereignty... it is the one thing that we can be certain of.
