Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
God is in control and His ways are higher than our ways. We cannot see the whole picture no matter how much we wish to see it. Our human condition is limiting, and we don't always understand why God allows certain trails and tribulations to occur in our lives. But we know that He is with us during all of these sad times of suffering.
He will take us through them and hopefully our character is refined and that spiritual growth takes place. We learn how to trust in God's providence. We strife to live for His will and glory. We chose to go through the learning process to become better people and to become righteous Christians. We are not righteous because our deeds make us so, we are righteous when we accept Jesus Christ as our personal Lord & Savior. We are righteous because we choose to live for God and to live according to His standards.
We are His children, so He will not allow anything in our lives that we cannot handle. Once we go through the trial, we will turn back and see everything we have gone through and everything that we have accomplished despite all of our problems, and then we will praise the Lord of Heaven, for His grace, His Wisdom, and His Providence.
PRAISE BE TO THE LORD OF HOSTS FOR HIS WISDOM IN SENDING HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST INTO THE WORLD, TO LIVE FOR US AND TO DIE FOR US, FOR THE REMISSION OF OUR SINS, AND FOR THE PEACE AND JOY OF LIVING IN HIS PRESENCE FOREVER AND EVER MORE!
