Why are we so quick to question God when something goes wrong in our lives? We don’t question the good things, only the bad. We immediately ask “why is this happening or what is going on?” Did you ever think He might ask the same of us? He’s known us from the beginning. He formed our inward parts, covered us in our mother’s womb, has always wanted the best for us, and He does have a plan for us. Yet … look at the Hebrews after they were brought out of Egypt. God freed them from their bondage, performed miracle after miracle for them, was bringing them into a land flowing with milk and honey, and what’s the first thing they did when left on their own for a few days … they build a golden idol! He had a plan for them but instead they went off in their own direction! Intentional or mistakenly, how many times have we veered off the path He has for us causing Him to say, “What in the world are they doing now?” He is the potter, we are the clay, vessels for His use. Maybe we don’t always understand His plan for us, maybe we veer off to pursue our own plans, maybe some of the troubles we have are our own fault, and maybe sometimes stuff just happens, but He is still in control and can turn a bad situation into good. Maybe not what we want or expect, but what is best and perhaps with long reaching results we may never see. We aren’t meant to understand everything or why it happens but we are meant to have faith in Him. We can take heart in Romans 8:28, “And all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” If you love God and Jesus is your Lord and Savior, then you are called according to His purpose, and no matter the outcome of any situation, it all will be good!
Its All Good
