People in general, whether Christian or non Christian, tend to ask the question, Why me, when something bad happens in their life. But people who understand that everything that happens in this world in not about self, understands that God is in control. It may not be about you. God may be testing someone else, and you are the object of that test, and not the person being tested.
Susan Sanders told me a story not long ago that told of a couple that had adopted a little girl from another country. Just after they had signed the papers the little girl was taken ill. The child was taken to the hospital in a neighboring country that was more up to date medically. The little girl grew worst and worst daily, and died, but not before the couple learned to love her with all their hearts. As they looked toward Heaven and asked God, Why. Why God did You let us come all this way and go though all that we have, just to lose her? The Holy Spirit gave them the answer they asked. It wasn't about you, It was about the little girl. The little girl had prayed every day for parents who would love her. All the girl wanted was to feel loved by another person. God granted that prayer to her before she died and was taken to the bosom of the giver of all love.
So you see, when bad things happen in your life, it isn't necessarily about you. God has His reasons, and God's reasons are always righteous and just.
Of course sometimes things just happen. Storms, floods and many other disasters in which many people get hurt and die. Does it mean that God has turned His back on His people? No, God has already told us in Matthew 5:45 that what happens to the sinner will also happen to the saved.
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. We as Christians just need to learn to trust God in all things. Because as I stated before, God is always righteous and just in whatever He does. He has reasons that we as humans can not possibly understand. After all isn't that what faith is all about?
1Peter 4:12
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
1 Peter 4:13
Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
Until next time God bless and God save.
