The Paradox of God’s Will

Text for discussion: Luke 10.

There are many paradoxes to the way God operates in this world.  The rich and powerful will struggle to see God’s Work in this world, and indeed may willfully disobey it.  They may succeed on this earth, but eternity is a different thing than earthly success.  It is the meek, the innocent, the poor in spirit for whom God’s Kingdom and ways will most clearly come into focus.  When we set aside worldly attitudes, different priorities come into focus.
