Got a list of \u201cWhy, God ?\u201d to ask Him ?
Consider this, now, about then—good possibility, when we see Jesus, we\u2019ll forget our questions, and most everything else on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But for now:
\u201cMy brothers, count it all joy when you fall into all kinds of trouble; know that the trying of your faith works patience. But let patience have her perfect work, so you will be perfectly complete and lack nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I agree, this doesn\u2019t make sense\u2014until we follow Jesus and give Him control of everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And even then we often ask \u201cWhy?\u201d\u2014until we get to heaven and find out it was all much more than worth it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until then we have His promises in the Bible that guarantee both our outcome and our strength for today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
