Written by Elisabeth Elliot (1926-2015), a Christian author, speaker, and missionary. She spent the last two years of her life as a missionary to the tribe members who killed her husband.
When terrible things happen…there are two choices and only two: We can trust God or we can defy Him. We believe that God is God, He’s still got the whole world in His hands and knows exactly what He’s doing, or we must believe that He is not God and we are at the awful mercy of mere chance.
The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. [Deuteronomy 33:27]
