Having these wisdom teeth pulled has got me thinking about a number of different things. Near the top of the list, I’ve been provoked to contemplate the wisdom (har har) of God. No, really. And not just because they are called wisdom teeth.

My back teeth have been sore from the surgery (all four were impacted), the surgery sites very tender. So I’ve spent the last week chewing what food I could eat with my front teeth. And I’ve discovered that front teeth aren’t very good for chewing. They’re made for biting, and it’s hard to mash stuff up with them. (Profound, I know.)

But this is amazing to me! We’re talking about teeth - a pretty minor component of our beings, when you think about it. And yet God has wisely (there it is again) designed our teeth with specific jobs to do. Our God pays attention to details.

So, if God has put this much care into designing our teeth, is there any situation in our lives that we cannot trust him to wisely (one more time) superintend for our good and for His glory? VERSE!
