Ezekiel 14:23
And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.
God is never without cause for all that He does.
We oftentimes have a very difficult time seeing that. We look at everything through the eyes of
1. Our own comfort
2. Our lack of knowledge
3. Our sinful nature
And because our vision is blurred by these things we cannot often see why God does what He does.
We are tempted to question His wisdom and goodness
We sometimes think that those who do not try to worship the Lord have it better than those who do try to live for God
Quite simply, our vision is blurred. We do not see right.
Last night I was meditating on a counseling meeting I had. As the person questioned and challenged the counsel I thought to myself that they should not question, they should just obey. That is faith. But how often do we question and challenge God in our own lives? Trusting God means coming to the place where we do not ask Him why things must be as they are, but simply lean on Him and obey His Words.
