Understanding

Mount St. Helens in Washington :)

God is so good, isn't He? So many blessings, so much mercy. But there are times when we can't help but question His ways. Some may say that people tend to call on God more when they're in distress and troubled; when things aren't going right. That calamities often make people depend more on God. That might have some truth to it... But the Bible says in Romans 2:4

"Or do you presume on the riches of His kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?"

To 'make' us repent He would show even more kindness?

In life, there are many questions that are hard to answer. Many things we can't put our minds around. In the oldest book of the Bible, God answers Job when he could not see the reason behind all his suffering...

"Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who hath streched the line upon it?

"Hath the rain a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew?"

Job 38:4,5,28

.......

So let's keep our faith strong, eh? We can definitely ask our Savior and Friend later when He returns. :)

"He hath shown thee, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God."
Micah 6:8
