The real mystery is people still actually believe that.

God sees things clearly, much more clearly than we do, so sometimes it seems strange that somethings happen when they do, but then, looking back, we see it was better his way than the way we thought it should. =========== The phrase comes from a poem by William Cowper: William Cowper (1731–1800) God Moves in Mysterious Ways God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform; He plants his footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm. Deep in unfathomable mines Of never failing skill, He treasures up his bright designs, And works his sovereign will. Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take, The clouds ye so much dread are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head. Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust him for his grace; Behind a frowning providence, He hides a smiling face. His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan his work in vain; God is his own interpreter, And he will make it plain. William Cowper was a British poet and hymnist. He struggled throughout his life with depression, doubts, and fears. http://www.journeywithjesus.net/PoemsAndPrayers/William_Cowper_God_Moves.shtml
