Good Morning! Lamentations 3:31-33 For men are not cast off by the Lord forever. Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men. I have a friend who has just lost her Husband and I know she and especially her children are wondering why? In Rom 8:28 it tells us, That, In all things God works for the good. But how can you explain that to a 13 yr old boy who has just lost His Father. God does things sometimes we just don't understand, but we have to remember that we will never understand the ways of the Lord. But in 2 Samuel 22:31 It tells us, As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in Him. You see we will never understand the ways of the Lord and why things happen the way they happen. This is part of the great mystery of Faith! And it is in these times of troubles we must use that Faith no matter how small it is, (It only has to be as big as a Mustard Seed) to turn to God for comfort and strength. But it is the last part of today's Vs that I want to concentrate on for a minute. For God does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men. You see God does not do anything to hurt us. But sometimes the things he does, DO! And we don't understand WHY? And it is at those times we must run on that Faith. And realize God would never do anything that in the long run, in the long scheme of life would not be better for us. So today I ask you all would you please say a prayer for my friend and her children that they may find comfort in what has happened. And that they find the Peace of the Lord which passes all understanding. And one day see there was a purpose why this happened. HABD!
