In His parable of the wedding feast, Jesus describes a category of people unable to enter the kingdom of heaven because of their natural distractions and obligations. As Jonah prayed in the belly of a fish, “Those who cling to worthless idols [their stubborn will] forfeit the grace which could be theirs” (Jon. 2:8). In His providence, God sees ahead and extends His grace to enable us for every trial. However, by doggedly clinging to our own will, we forsake His mercy. Then, when calamity strikes, we’ll be asking, “Where was God?”, while in our day of visitation God was asking, “Where are you?”
