It's funny how things happen, lying in bed last night, the thought ran through my mind as to why God let some things happen as they do. Why does God let small children suffer with illnesses, with abuse. Many of which die agonizing deaths due to the acts of evil and disturbed low life human beings. Why does God let storms and floods kill and maim people all over the earth. Why does it seem, that the righteous people of God suffer daily, while the wicked go around untouched by anything bad.
This morning as I was listening to Adrian Rogers. My Bible opened as usual to the Scripture that he was preaching about. It was Ecclesiastics chapter 1 beginning at verse 1. He preached on the whole book of Ecclesiastics, hitting on the top phrases about life. He talked about our inability to understand exactly what I was thinking about last night. It's kind of amazing. You can be talking to God, asking God the big question, why, and God will answer your prayer, the very next morning. Isn't that something?
All in all, I have the understanding this morning, that we are not suppose to understand why God does what God does. We are to understand that nothing happens without God letting it happen or causing it to happen. All things are in God's hand. Not a blade of grass moves without God moving it.
So we are not suppose to try to figure life out, we are suppose to put our lives in God's hand, and to know that God loves us. And yes we will have good days, and yes we will have bad days. And yes, ugly things will happen in this world. But we are to focus on the knowledge, eternity awaits us! And what a joyous time that will be.
Until next time, may God richly bless you, and God save the loss.
