Why did this happen?

There are times in our lives when bad things happen and we just cannot figure out why; there will always be those times. We have experience those times when things just don't make sense, and where we feel that we are being treated unfairly and unjustly. When these things happen, and they will, we have a tendency to ask, "Why?"

"Why did GOD allow this?" "Why am I having to go through this?" "Why did GOD do this to me when I am being faithful and dedicated and trying to serve Him?" Really good questions, and tough ones to answer.

Today's word is Deuteronomy 32:4, which reads, "He is the Rock, His works are perfect, and all His ways are just. A faithful GOD Who does no wrong, upright and just is He."

When bad things happen, it's not GOD who is doing it. Bad things happen because we live in a world full of evil. The devil is the prince of this world and he is hard at work trying to destroy individuals, families, churches, GOD'S people. Sometimes, bad things happen just because bad things happen. But, when bad things happen, we can rest in the fact that GOD is steady, never changing. And, that He is perfect and just. He doesn't cause bad things to happen; He gives us the strength to get through them if we will just rely on Him.

The next time something happens, it's okay to ask, "Why GOD is this happening?" It's okay to sit in the misery for a few minutes and think that we are receiving unfair and unjust treatment. Then, remember what JESUS went through, and know that, while He isn't the cause, He will see us through. His works are perfect, His ways are just, He is faithful, and He does no wrong.

Be Blessed,
