But not God. God is not only loving; he is also strong. So we can gladly submit to him, not only knowing he desires the best for us, but that he has the power to make it happen.
3. God Is Wise.
Here we find the other thing we must believe about God. Because he might love us, and he might be strong enough to work things for our good, but is he wise enough to know what actually is for our good?
Again, the answer is yes. But we must be careful here to not confuse things like comfort, prosperity, health, and earthly benefit with “good.” God is wise enough to know the difference. Because he is, we can know that in our submission, he is always working for our good, even if the road to that good is painful.
God is loving, strong, and wise. And because he is, we are not only commanded to submit to him; it is foolish not to do so.
