When life throws you curve balls, what are you most likely to do? Do you get mad because things haven't gone your way? Do you sit in your room and pout about it? Be determined to find out the reason why this has come upon you?
Job 3:10
But Job replied, "You talk like a godless woman. Should we accept only good things from the hand of God and never anything bad?"
When something goes wrong don't try to let the urge to understand why you suffer overwhelm you. That only makes you question God. You have to understand that knowing God is better than knowing answers. Pain in life is not always punishment. By letting pain get to you, that's like telling the Devil "Okay, you win." God has a plan for us all. He is at peace because he knows the outcome. We need to praise God and put our whole trust in him, despite our questions that remain unanswered. By praying to God and trusting him, sometimes he will cure your problem. But sometimes he lets the problem go on but give you peace in your heart! He gives you the strength to go on and recover.
Going through the hard times in life can give us the opportunity to identify with Christ when he suffered on the cross for us.... for you! So often when we don't think our LORD understands, remember how he suffered for us. All his blood he shed, the pain he endured. We may not understand all life's problems, but yet we were not meant to.
Ecclesiastes 3:11
God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end.
Remember when that curve ball comes at you, God is our rock. He is our strength and never leaves our side! Are you ready to put your trust in him?
