What is happening? Do you ever ask God that question? Boy I sure do.
My son and I returned home last evening to find my husband’s tools, TVs and clothes gone from the house. No phone call. No message. No warning that this was taking place.
First I thought we had been robbed, then realized it was his things that were missing. After getting very angry and then hurt I thought about how to handle this for me and my son. Of course, first I had to call my friends and ask for prayer. Although I was too stunned to really hear them or their words I accepted what God was offering through them. But still wondering; “WHAT IS HAPPENING?” How do you explain this to a 13 year old?
God have you forgotten what you said? Have you deserted me and my son? Do you see what is happening? Then I realized again that Romans 8:28 is still true. All things work together for good those that love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. So to accept this in faith that all things will be okay no matter what it looks like to the human eyes is hard. But that is why they call it faith!
Faith that we will be taken care of in the midst of this trial; faith that we are covered in the blood of Jesus and no weapon formed against us shall prosper; faith that all our needs will be met.
There is a peace that no one can understand unless you are held in the arms of Christ. Even when we awake at 2am and can’t go back to sleep, He is holding us and wanting us to believe that He is working on all aspects of our lives.
God Bless you all and share this site with others.
