Father knows best! – Thomas Brooks

“Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in His holiness.” Hebrews 12:10.

What God, our Father wills, is best.

When He wills sickness, sickness is better than health.
When He wills weakness, weakness is better than strength.
When He wills poverty, poverty is better than wealth.
When He wills reproach, reproach is better than honor.
When He wills death, death is better than life.

As God is wisdom itself, and so knows that which is best; so He is goodness itself, and therefore cannot do anything but that which is best therefore remain silent before the Lord.
