Have you ever wondered why things happen??? Why this door closed and that window opened??? Why we have to get sick or why our loved ones have to leave us??
We have so many why's in our life and it's only natural since we are human. Sometimes the questions in our minds can be so overwhelming and we just feel like we cannot hold on.
Jesus said that if we will hold to his hand he will lead us and guide us. He also promised that one day we would "understand it better by and by." Now we see through a glass that is dark, but one day we would see through that glass clearly.
I don't know when that day will come for me and I am one of those people who have so many questions. I am just trying to hold on to the promises in His Word. There are a lot of things that I don't understand and probably will never understand, but the assurance that He will one day give me the understanding I need is healing to my heart and soul.
We recently had to do a lot of repairs to our vehicle. We don't know why this vehicle had to have all the problems it had all at one time but it did. We had no idea where the money was going to come from to repair it. But God did!!!
Our neighbor friends had a truck that was wrecked under very serious circumstances. They were devastated over the truck but were left with nothing but to try to start over with something else. God gave them a little money and they bought another truck which needed some repairs. To make a long story short, they were able to tare down the wrecked truck using the parts to fix the "new" truck. Now the "new" truck runs well and they aren't out a lot of money to fix it. Do you think God might have been looking out for their future???
Not only was He watching out for them, he was watching out for us as well. Our vehicle as I said above was having a total breakdown. We ended up having to replace not only the head gaskets, but the engine heads as well. Would you know that the engine heads were about $500.00 or more but our neighbors had the engine heads from the wrecked truck that they didn't need and they fit our vehicle perfectly!! We only had to pay a fraction of the cost. Not only did they have the engine heads but there was also a cruise control motor that we needed. Another big expense for about $25.00.
Not too many days after the vehicle was back to running we noticed that it didn't want to start. Oh no!! Another problem with this vehicle. Too much!! But, guess what??? That wrecked truck again saved us a lot of money. The starter from that truck fit our vehicle perfectly again and we fixed the starter in about half an hour. It starts perfectly.
We questioned why this had to happen. We didn't have any money to repair our vehicle. Why would God allow all of this to happen to us and all at one time???? Why couldn't we have had one problem at a time???
Questions needing answers. As humans we want to know right now but as children of God we know that He will answer those questions in His own time. We just need to hold on to His hand and trust and believe that someday we will understand.
