“Asking Why”

Have you found yourself crying or cussing a lot more these days? Maybe you’re asking God "why" as you take stock of the circumstances around you. Jesus doesn’t promise a problem-free existence. And when the troubles come, Romans 12:12 may be a helpful guide to set your mind right through the trial. “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” The end of your story is already written—God may not give you all the details about your career, your love life, your kids, your health, or your biggest decisions. But he’s given you an advanced copy of the last page to your story, and if you’ve put your trust in him, you will live happily ever after. When it comes to your problems, don’t ask why, ask who. Turn your attention to God, who brings good from all things.
