Have you ever had anyone lie to you?
Have you ever had anyone take advantage of you?
Has anyone ever abused you or manipulated you?
Have
you ever done anything that brought about unexpected negative circumstances?
Have you ever been the cause of pain or suffering for
someone else?
Have you ever brought trouble on yourself?
No one escapes life
without trials, tribulations and tests, but the way that you go through these
experiences determine your testimony.
Has
anyone ever tried to sneak in and take your portion of what you have worked for
the last twenty years?
Have you ever loved someone that you found out was using
you?
Has an employer ever let you down?
Where is God in all of this?
Do you think that God was taking a sabbatical from being
God?
Was God sleeping?
Maybe God just can't be everywhere at the
same time.
Maybe your problem is too big for God.
Maybe God just let's you do it on your own so
He can laugh at you when you fall.
Maybe God just isn’t there at all.
Sounds almost sacrilegious
doesn’t it? But that's the way you live out
your life sometimes.
people steal, people murder and terrorize. Cars crash, boats sink, accidents happen that
takes lives, good people die. We are always asking the question, "Why does God let these
things happen?"
Let's take a real step of faith here and learn some serious truth. Instead of asking the question, "Why does God let these things happen?" The question should be, "What are you going to do with what God allowed to happen?" When you think this way, "What are you going to do with what God allowed to happen?", it gives God something to work with, because God can take you through anything that you give over to Him."
