And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, whohave been called according to his purpose. --Romans 8:28
"Why, God?" We have all asked that question at one time or another. We ask it when horrible things happen—like when we lose a loved one. We also ask it when something trivial happens—like when we get a flat tire.
The question sounds innocent enough (and sometimes we ask it with a pure heart). But if we really searched our hearts, we would find that most of the time we really blaming God. By asking, we are insinuating it's God's fault for either making this horrible event happen (or letting it happen.)
Is God at fault? God's way is perfect (Psalm 18:30) so He does not deserve our blame. God works everything that happens for our good. If you are in the regular habit of asking God why He allowed awful things to happen in your life, try to stop thinking "Why, God?" Instead, remind yourself that God is working everything together for your good. You are drawing nearer to the Lord by aligning your thought life with the truth.
Lord, Help us to remember to be thankful for all the things You are working for our good. Thank You that You love us and desire great things in our lives. In Christ's Name, Amen.
