Happy Wednesday,
“I Do Not Understand “
To my understanding, there is nowhere in the Bible where God calls us to understand why He allows things to happen to us that we do not like. Distressing as it is to us, God has never promised us that He will explain to us why bad things happen to us.
What God has called us to do is to trust in Him in all situations. We are to love God, even when our hearts are breaking. We are to love God when a liar destroys our reputation, knowing that one day the truth will be revealed. When we love and trust God through it all we will find peace.
One day in Heaven we will understand. Now God wants our complete trust and for us to love Him with our whole heart.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your ownunderstanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
Matthew 22:37-40
New King James Version
37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

Revelation 22:20
I Am Coming Quickly
He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
