Trust Him

People have always asked the question ‘why’ when faced with situations beyond their comprehension. Their question is significant and legitimate because it reflects the fact that nothing happens to us without the knowledge of God (Psalm 139:15-16). The story of Job makes it clear that we should not be overly preoccupied with the question ‘why’, God’s reasons are often kept to Himself. He may hold them right above our understanding and far beyond our natural field of vision in order to develop our faith. Our response in such situations should be like that of Job at the beginning and end of his trials (Job 2:10 and 42:1-6). Obediently, we must trust God in all circumstances even when we cannot understand what He is doing; being very assured that when God conceals His intentions, He comforts us with His promises
