The Works of God

All the paths of the Lord are loving and faithful. Psalm 25:10

All does not mean “all – except the paths I am walking in now,” or “nearly all – except this especially difficult and painful path.” All must mean all.

So, your path with its unexplained sorrow or turmoil, and mine with its sharp flints and briers- and both our paths, with their unexplained perplexity, their sheer mystery – they are His paths, on which He will show himself loving and faithful.  Nothing else; nothing less.

Amy Carmichael, You Are My Hiding Place, p. 98
