Too much hubris thinking God has “ something great” ( in human terms that feeds our sinful ego). Rather we should be humble as Moses praying God’s will be done for us. His great will nay be as simple as taking good care of your family, caring for wife and home, obeying His will to bring our children up in the fear and admonition of the Lord. As Solomon reminds us all is vanity. It boils down to this , “ the fear of the Lord is the beginning if Wisdom”, do understood Job, David, Daniel, Joseph etc etc in the midst of suffering that Christ wraps up our suffering in His and we understand our glory is in Him for eternity, not in seeking glory on this earth, in this world, in the pursuit of glory actualized by the worlds and our own sinful pursuits. Give thanks to God for His mercy and gift of redemption in Christ for eternity. His will is always done to the faithful , mostly when they do not see it.

Saving this, and possibly stealing it for use from the pulpit.
