I've had a lot of down time lately. All caught up on my homework. No plans until next weekend. So my dilemna is when I have this much time to think and evaluate my life, there are passages in my mind that are like deep caves. They are scary. I don't want to go down that path, because I know there are scary creatures there. I'm speaking metaphorically of course. These places in my thinking need to be exorcised so to speak. Yet, I don't even want to go there because of the pain that it causes. But if I don't deal with it, it is always going to be lurking in those dark places. In the shadows. Waiting for an opportune moment to assault me when I am least prepared to defend myself.
I've been taught that God is always there for us. I just wonder what the heck He was doing when these memories were being made. Was He on vacation? Was He taking a coffee break? Was he low on miracles? I know these questions may seem ridiculous, but that's how I feel sometimes. I get tired of feeling like God is playing a game of hide and seek with a blind person. Marco....Polo....

Yep, that's a hard one Ron. I've asked that question as I'm sure all of humanity has too. As Christians we have the assurance that God promises to use all things for GOOD. That's quite a promise! ALL THINGS...not some things or things done on a certain date or by certain person...but ALL THINGS. PERIOD. That is the hope and assurance I cling too when I start to question God and his sovereignty. When I meditate on that promise I realize the creative power of a loving God. Not all things that happen to us is God’s will. There are bad people who do bad things, PERIOD, and often we get caught in the cross fire. But a creative God can take the trageidies and hurtful things done by others and turn it into beauty and happiness…..just because HE IS GOD. Nothing is to hard. Unfortunately, we live in a fallen world filled with fallen people. The rain falls on the righteous and unrighteous. I often wonder how the non believer copes. Where is their hope?
