Why?

“Why?”

That word often comes from a little child.

"Why Mom?"

"Why?"

As the years go on and children grow older, deep inside they ask, "Why?"

One could go around and around asking the simple question, "Why?"

Sometimes, we too, as Christians, ask the Lord, "why?"

He has an answer for everything. IF you are willing to listen.

When you do not understand and ask “Why?" - remember the Father's answer.

"My ways are higher than your ways. My thoughts are higher than your thoughts." {Isaiah 55:9}

At the time it is unclear. However, if we are willing to listen and learn His ways, He will show us His ways. Once it all has passed, we will find, His ways are higher than ours. They are perfect, and we couldn't do half as good as the Father's perfect planning if we were in control. We mess things up. He sees the whole picture, we don't.

This is where trusting comes in. Are we ready to fully trust, even if we don't understand, why? Remembering that His ways are higher; we can believe that He will do as He has promised. We can then obey Him and do His will, knowing that His will is the best.

Once the picture is completed, we'll look back and see how each detail worked out for His glory and purpose. Isn't He wonderful?

 If only we can remember this through our time of testing! Before we answer full of frustration, if we could remember God knows best, and we should obey what He wants instead of answering the way we want to — wouldn’t that be wonderful? God is the God of the impossibles. He will help us. Will He not? He won't leave us on our own to figure these things out, would He? Never! Praise His Name!

Therefore, let us enter those storms of trials, those times where we wonder why. Let us enter with boldness to His throne of grace to find mercy and help in our time of need. All through the storm, He will see us through. When we look back, we will be reassured, He knows best.
