A LOT OF QUESTIONS
A LOT OF QUESTIONS
By Sally I. Kennedy, ©2005

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace." -John
16:33
If I live to be a hundred there are some things I will never
understand. Why do some people live, and some die? Why do some people
have debilitating diseases and others, perfect health? Why do some have
loads of money and others struggle to survive? Why do some get caught
and others go free? Why do some people recover and get well, others
don't?
Don't we all wonder about these questions? I do, from time to time, and
my answer is always the same, "I don't know." I don't know much, and
even less the older I get. My list of questions I want to ask when I
get to heaven is pretty long.
In this life, there are a lot of mysteries. We will not humanly
understand many things. Yet underlying all the unknowns is the one
great thing we do know: God is still on His throne. He is still
sovereign, still in charge. He knows what is going on. He doesn't just
wake up one morning, look down, and say, "Oh my gosh! Look at that!!"
We may not be able to trust in the system, in people, in circumstances
or luck. But we can trust in the Lord God. And the promise is that one
day, every tear shall be wiped away. Every sickness, every injustice,
every heartache.
Jesus said we will surely have troubles here on earth, but to be
undaunted and confident because He has overcome the world's power to
harm us permanently.
Bottom-line, the answer to all these questions really is- hang onto the
promise, and hold onto the the Lord.
