Is that not the same in our Christian walk. We are going along wondering what in the world is going on, when hardships and persecutions hit, but we keep moving forward trusting our heavenly Father who is making all things beautiful!
Sometimes we can see where he is going, but most of the time, we just have to trust in his promises and stand on his word, because in the natural through our vision it doesn't make sense. The night Jesus was turned over to be crucified was one of those baffling moments for his closest disciples.
Matthew 26:39 "Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."
You see being carnal we have the here and now, desires of comfort before pain, prosperity before lack, but God has salvation for eternity before anything else. No there is nothing wrong with any of these earthly desires, but God's ways are so much higher than ours. He has a heavenly, eternal perspective that is oftentimes hard to see, from our view.
What IF, losing your only child meant you would see them in heaven for eternity? What IF that terminal illness was going to cause all of your children to give their lives to the Lord? What IF that eviction was really taking you away from unknown pollution that was killing your body? What IF and the list goes on and on....
I am here to remind you that God loves you and is working ALL things to the good to them that love him and are called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28.
