"上帝从不会因变化而感到惊讶措手不及或沮丧"
— Jerry Bridges
Simplified Meaning:
God always knows what's going to happen and never gets worried or upset when things change. Imagine a teacher who has prepared a lesson plan for all kinds of questions students might ask. No matter how tricky the question, the teacher is ready and knows how to answer it. In the same way, God is prepared for everything that happens in the world. For example, if you're planning a picnic and it suddenly starts raining, you might feel frustrated and need to come up with a new plan quickly. But if someone had told you the weather would be bad, you could have planned for it in advance and not be surprised or upset. This is how God works; He sees every possibility and is already prepared. So, when things in your life don't go as planned and you feel stressed or worried, remember that God isn't surprised. You can trust that He understands what's happening and has a bigger plan in mind. This idea can help you stay calm and find comfort when facing unexpected changes or challenges.
