Isaiah 45:15
Truly, O God of Israel, our Savior, you work in strange and mysterious ways.It’s storied that William Cowper had intended to end his life at the age of 32 by throwing himself from a bridge after drinking opium-laced tea, but in his drugged state and in the fogginess of the night he drove around in circles ending up back at his own doorstep. The next day, he tried falling onto a knife, only to have the blade break under his weight. He'd later even try hanging himself, but rescuers were able to get to him in time to cut him down while he was unconscious. Later on in life, he would find a Bible and take in verses that would inspire his heart and change his life forever. Cowper would eventually become one of the most famous hymnists ever by penning the aptly titled God Moves In A Mysterious Way. Cowper found out in many twists of irony that he was meant to live for something more than he could ever have envisioned. Are you letting God move in mysterious ways throughout your life?
