Day 125-God's goodness to US

Hey guys,

      So, can I just ask you something? Who are WE to question GOD when things go wrong? What is it about human nature that instantly assumes absolute authority? Because the last time I checked, we as humans are lucky to wake up every morning! Not to mention, we Americans who wake up in our heated homes, in our queen sized beds, in our master bedrooms complete with a TV, and yet, if ANYTHING goes wrong, all the sudden it's GOD to blame? Like God hasn't given enough to us already? Like God didn't already give us the ULTIMATE sacrifice of his SON so that WE could live? Honestly, I know it's something I do, because I am human, but it still bothers me. It bothers me that as I look through my dresser and closet that is stuffed full of clothes, I somehow have nothing to wear, as I walk down to breakfast, and start to ransack the kitchen that is filled with food, there is somehow "nothing" to eat. I'm not trying to make you feel guilty, because honestly, we all do it, it's human nature, and that's ok! There are times however, that we do need to stop and be thankful not only for the things we have, but for the LIFE we have. God did not NEED humans, God was not LONELY, because he wasn't alone, he was with the Trinity. Rather, God CHOSE to create us, KNOWING that we would sin and fall short of the glory of God, so who are we to be upset with him? God does everything that he does for a reason, no matter how big or small, but the problem is that we as humans cannot see or understand the reasoning behind what he does, so we therefore question it. Think back to the times when you were a kid, and your parents told you not to climb on the furniture. At the time, you could not understand the reason WHY it wasn't a good idea to climb on the furniture, but looking back now, you can see why that would be a bad idea. Frankly, to God, we are just like those little children, helpless, and honestly, clueless. Have you ever watched a suspense or action movie, and you KNOW if the main character takes one more step, he will be blown to smithereens? That is what God does to us sometimes in our lives, he challenges us, he presents us with obstacles and struggles in our lives, but at the same time, he KNOWS how far to go, he knows the exact position of that "bomb", when everything is just too much, and he will NOT put us there! So, I think that we as humans are fairly ignorant of what is going on in God's plan around us, and we need to remember that. We need to remember that when the world seems like it's going to cave in, first off, it's NOT, God wouldn't let that happen, and secondly, our situation is just a small SLIVER of God's plan, it may seem bad now, but in the end, it is all for the good of those who love God.

<3 Always,
