You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock. – Isaiah 26:3-4
Have you ever wondered why there is suffering?
Why wars are happening in several corners of the world?
Why a number of nations experience extreme poverty?
Why injustice is severely rampant on many corners of this planet?
Why you have to end up failing after working so hard to succeed?
Why you have to be broken-hearted many times in a row?
Why?
It is just so hard to understand.
And what makes them even more confusing is the fact that we think that God allows them to happen.
So we tend to question God, “Why?”
And when our sufferings are becoming excruciatingly painful to bear, we ask God, “Why me?”
Questions that are searching for answers.
Questions that want God’s explanation for allowing such circumstances.
Questions that are filled with so much doubt about God’s love for us.
Sometimes, our doubts are the reason why we create a gap between us and God.
We distance ourselves from Him because we think that He refuses to provide the answers we are longing for.
But these doubts that are lurking somewhere inside our hearts are actually the reasons for us to cling to God more.
Because this is God’s way of asking us in return, “Do you trust Me?”
Friends, do we trust God?
Do we trust Him enough to be willing to give up on trying to find the answers to everything, especially to the things that we find so hard to understand?
Because there really is no answer to everything.
And when you find no answers at all, the only answer is faith.
Trust God.
Keep the faith.
They are always the best answers.
Take care and God bless! :-)
And those who know Your name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You. – Psalm 9:10
