Let's not ask "Why?"

It is after midnight and I can't sleep. So, I gave up and thought I would do my devotion for tomorrow or I guess today. I guess I am wondering why I can't sleep. Why is my mind going 100 mph? Why do I feel God is trying to show my something? Why am I not sure what it is? Why am I questioning Him? Friends, I have been looking around lately and all I see are storm clouds and tidal waves. The feeling that my ship has lost it's rudder. That it is going here and there uncontrollably. have you ever felt this way? Do you feel this way now? Do you feel that your ship is taking on water and you can't stop the leak or bail the water out fast enough? I want us to jump in a backhoe instead of picking up a shovel to dig into some of the good stuff today.........

Bible Verse: 2 Samuel 22:31 "As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: He is a buckler to all them that trust in Him."

When bewilderment engulfs you and despair and troubles loom at your door, when trials are like Marines storming the beaches of your life, you may want to ask God, "Why? Why? Why? Why me?" Friend, we may never understand why things happen the way they do in our lives, but that's not our job. Here is the thing, it is not even necessary for us to know why. That really God's question. Our response is really all that matters. When we don't think we can feel His hand, we must. I mean must trust His heart. Our job is to simply trust and obey. I know this is so hard to hear much less do! But, we must trust. So, what is happening in your that you have no explanation for, but long for answers? Let's try this. Ask God to give you peace and grace to trust Him. Then be still. Please have a great day and I pray that God can give you some peace today. I would like to ask a favor of you. Could you please say a prayer for one of my youth. She is having surgery at 8am today on her neck and is very scared. thank you in advance for your prayers.
