HE KNOWS!!!

"But He knows the way I take. When He has tried me, I shall come forth as refined gold (pure and luminous). Job 23:10. It is easier to say and done, right? What do you do when you don't know what to do? When He seems distant and disinterested, like He's moved and hasn't left a forwarding address. Yes, He has all the power and provision necessary to alleviate my misery but He doesn't seem to be lifting a finger to come to my rescue. My friend, I have been there and have done it. And still do it. It's at times like this when our faith is tested, our cries for help seem to go unanswered; our thirst and longing for answers unquenched- WHAT WILL WE DO? If we are not careful we can become fearful and disillusioned with God when we are hurting. This morning during my meditation time and was praying and was going through the Bible, He spoke to me. Why did Jesus grow weary in Samaria, disturbed in Nazareth, and angry in the temple? Why was He sleepy in the boat, sad at the tomb of Lazarus, and hungry in the wilderness? Because he knew I would feel them too. He knew during our life journey we would be weary, disturbed, angry, sleepy, grief-stricken, hungry, face severe pain- pain too sharp for any drug, face thirst, abandonment, betrayal, and the list goes on. HE UNDERSTANDS EVERYTHING. Our God is a PRESENT HELP in the time of trouble. May be God is setting us for "double for our trouble". Like Job. He will never fail, never, never, ever.
