It is not until the enlightened sinner is made by grace to see the sovereign character of God that these three questions will always be answered in a way that gives the believer true peace, comfort and rest. Here are the final answers to every question that begins with “Why? How? When?
WHY?“Even so Father: it seemed good in thy sight.” (Matthew 11:26, Luke 10:21)
HOW?“According to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will.” (Ephesians 1:11)
WHEN?“But when it pleased God.” “Until the time appointed.” (Galatians 1:15, Galatians 4:2)
I am so thankful that our God is in the heavens doing whatsoever He has pleased. Remember, God doesn’t do something because it is right, it is right because God does it.
