I don’t know about you but I find life pretty messy a lot of the time. The perplexities, the questions, the downright confusion. I have a hard time understanding where God is at times. It’s like he’s hiding.
Do you ever feel that way?
When really good people get seriously ill, I think, “Why him?”, “Why her?” Shouldn’t cancer be reserved for murderers, rapist, terrorists, etc? (Yes, I know how that sounds coming from someone who’s a Christian. I’m just saying what a lot of people think.)
And yet many of these people would be the first to tell you of their faith and why they still believe God loves them.
This prayer from tworiversblog.com says it all:
“God, sometimes it is so easy to believe and sometimes… I know You are good. I KNOW IT, but sometimes… it just gets so hard to see it. You love me. You want the best for me far more than I even want it for myself. Sometimes I just don’t know how You are working good through the mess this life sometimes tosses me. In those times, as I seek understanding, help me to never lose faith.”
We put on a good front, but when no one is around, when it’s just us with our thoughts:
We doubt.
We question.
So if that’s you today, be assured.
God knows.
God understands.
God bless and have a good day.
God bless and have a good day.
