What is God doing?

Yesterday I heard a quote that challenged my thinking.  It was from Oswald Chambers book "Abandoned to God."  I got the audio book as a free download from Christianaudio.com.  You can get your own free copy HERE.

Here is the quote, "I am not concerned with what God is doing, I am only concerned with who God is."

That got me to thinking, have I been more concerned about who God is, or what He is doing.  I think I must confess that after the trials of the last few months and having basically no income for the past month I have been more concerned with what God is doing.  But it seems that God has been driving this point home.  I don't need to worry about what He is doing simply because I know who He is.  Because I know He is good, just, holy, righteous, etc., I can trust that He is working even when I can't see how.  Because He has told me that He cares for me and He will never leave me, I don't have to worry about what we will eat, drink or wear.  He knows what we need and He will provide.  I am slowly (although far from consistently) learning to think differently.  It really should not concern me so much what God is doing.  His thoughts are so far above mind that I will often not understand.  All that should concern me is who He is.  And I know that He is great.
