"God Knows and he cares"

God Knows and He Cares

I am sure that each of us as we’ve gone through certain things in life, as we faced various storms and difficulties in life, we’ve all gotten to the point where we start asking God questions. Questions like, why is this happening to me? Or perhaps you’ve asked a question like, God how will the situation work out for my good?

Romans 8:28 As we know that all things work together for good to them that love God to them who are the called according to his purpose.

The thing about us as humans is that we always want to know all the details. We want to know how God will make a way where there seems to be no way.

We want to know how exactly God operates and why he allows certain things to happen. Now should you find yourself in a storm of difficulty.

Keep in mind Psalm 34:19 says, Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers him out of them all.

However, as humans we always want to know the details how exactly the Lord will deliver us.

So, I would like to encourage you and tell you that God is sovereign, meaning that he possesses supreme and ultimate power and because the Lord possesses all authority all power and knowledge this means that our part is not to worry, or be concerned or even question God. We are not to demand answers or feel as though we’re on the same level with God that he has to explain himself. That’s not the case, our part however, is to have faith that God means what he says, and he says what he means, if he says all things work together for my good, then our part is not to ask how but it’s simply to trust that God honors his word.

If the word of God tells me that many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all, then my part is to hold on by faith to this promise. With the eyes of faith, you can see the hand of God, the goodness of God in every situation regardless of how painful.

Through faith you begin to consider if you’ve been placed in that set of circumstances for a specific reason or for a specific purpose. A purpose such as unlocking a stronger desire for prayer in your life, a purpose such as awakening a hunger for righteousness and holiness like never before in your life. Or perhaps the purpose of such a test is to expose the gifts and the calling that lays dormant inside of you. Too often because we’re focusing on the negative, we don’t see the positive in that situation and we don’t see what God is trying to do. Could it be that the reason for this difficulty is God wanting to reveal to you how real he is? Perhaps this is a test where God wants to demonstrate himself to be your provider or perhaps the Lord wants to use this trial in your life to demonstrate his strength and kindness to you. And so, whatever the purpose of this trial you’re in, I encourage you to do your part, and your part is to hold on in faith and trust and look to Jesus.
