We are surrounded on all sides today with contentment in the process itself, with no expectation of ends or absolutes.  Such contentment inherently saddles us with a serious distortion.
Being addicted to process offers us the option (if we want it) to think of life, or dilemmas, or problems, or realities as always consisting only of the journey–but never actually arriving anywhere; as always providing one more negotiating point, but  never being set in cement; as always consisting of a journey that has no terminal destination; nothing ever being settled.
Even those whose faith informs them differently find it difficult to stand free of the magnetism that the high priests of process call them to, but it must be resisted if we are to consistently respond to “This is so.  That is not so.”
We’ve been influenced and made uncertain by a flood of unfaith.  It is no wonder that we find it overwhelming to think sound thoughts about God. So, as for me, I’m revisiting old, favorite reading to strengthen my innards.

J. I. Packer, Knowing God, (InterVarsity Press, 1973) describes modern man as thinking of himself as

…a thoroughly good fellow.  Then as pagans do (and modern man’s heart is pagan–make no mistake about that), he imagines God as a magnified image of himself, and assumes that God shares his own complacency about himself…

With so much margin for error provided for us, we certainly can end up where we presently are:

Willingness to tolerate and indulge evil up to the limit is seen as a virtue, while living by fixed principles of right and wrong is censured by some as doubtfully moral.

Thinking about God is too important to be left to the theologians, in the same way that political and national issues are far too important to be left to the politicians. So let’s think.
The following is from Packer’s discussion about the themes of the Old Testament book of Daniel, written by the old prophet who had been caught in the Babylonian captivity in his youth.
The Babylonian captivity and the destruction of Jerusalem had interrupted Daniel’s teen-age years. He ended up serving in the royal courts of Babylon for nearly seventy years.
Lots of stuff went down during those decades. In this passage, Packer is summarizing “all of that” with the bottom line being that the most High rules in the kingdom of men.

There is not space enough here to gather up all that the book of Daniel tells us about the wisdom, might, and truth of the great God who rules history and shows His sovereignty in acts of judgment and mercy towards individuals and nations according to His own good pleasure.  Suffice it to say that there is, perhaps, no more vivid or sustained presentation of the many-sided reality of God’s sovereignty in the whole Bible.
In (the) face of the might and splendour of the Babylonian empire which had swallowed up Palestine, and the prospect of further great world-empires to follow, dwarfing Israel by every standard of human calculation, the book as a whole forms a dramatic reminder that the God of Israel is King of Kings and Lord of Lords, that ‘the heavens do rule’ (4:6), that God’s hand is on history at every point, that history, indeed, is no more than “His story’, the unfolding of His eternal plan, and that the kingdom which will triumph in the end is God’s.
The central truth, which Daniel taught Nebuchadnezzar in chapters 2 and 4, and of which he reminded Belshazzar in chapter 5 (verses 18-23), and which Nebuchadnezzar acknowledged in chapter 4 (verses 34-37), and which Darius confessed in chapter 6 (verses 25-27) and which was the basis of Daniel’s prayers in chapters 2 and 9, and of his confidence in defying authority in chapter 3, and which formed the staple substance of all the disclosures which God made to Daniel in chapters 2, 4, 7, 8, 10 and 11-12, is the truth that ‘the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men’ (4:25, df. 5:21).
….He, therefore, will have the last word, both in the world history and in the destiny of every man; His kingdom and righteousness will triumph in the end, for neither men nor angels shall be able to thwart Him.

Soaking in what’s true has a way of strengthening and steadying for what comes next
