It is so easy to praise God and worship Him in the good times of life but that's not true worship. Anyone can worship God in the good times, but what about in the bad... when it seems like life isn't worth living anymore and everything is falling apart?
God used the death of my father to turn my life around. That doesn't seem fair, why couldn't God have used another method? Thats a question I will ask Him one day, but I'm pretty sure the answer will be "this was the only way you could learn."
A friend once told me that you can learn more from a bad leader than a good one, and I think that applies to life as well. Sometimes you learn more from hard, tough situations than just the good ones. Without pain and sorrow, how can you experience true joy?
Everything I have is from God, the fact that I had a Dad for thirteen years is a blessing. Some kids never even get that, so who am I to get mad at God.
Job 1:21 reminds me:
"Naked I came from my mother's womb,
and naked I shall return there.
The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away.
Blessed be the name of the Lord."
You never know what God's master plan is, but trust Him in every situation in life knowing that He knows exactly what He is doing. Just look what He did with me...

I couldn't figure out the profile deal so here it is anyways!
ReplyDeleteThis is so true Bill. So many bad things have happened in my life and I have wondered why me or why is this happening? But its in those times where I have found God the closest to me. I believe God puts me in situations so that I know how to help people when they go through them. Maybe its the same for you!
