Irony

It's funny, cause the last blog I wrote about was being grateful.
Now, I'm on the other end.


God always likes to throw us curve balls when we least expect it. Sometimes, it's little things, like you need gas, or your computer is giving you problems, or a friend freaks out for no apparent reason. Whatever the little thing is, it usually turns out fine. No harm, no foul. But it's those big things that always end up testing us. It is the thing that no one, not even you expected, but there it is, plain as day. Who could possibly know what to do? 

Then you remember that you have God. 

Not only is He there, but He's the one that orchestrated this whole thing to happen. 

And you think, "Wait, God KNEW this was going to happen."

Yup, He sure did. He knew every little detail that you couldn't spot if you tried. 

He's God. 

He knows. 

So obviously, there's got to be SOME good reason that all of this is going on. 

I have no clue what it is, or what I'm supposed to be learning from it. 

But I do know this. 

My God is great. 

My God is good. 

And He has a plan. 

For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, 

which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Ephesians 2:10 

I TRY God. I really try to understand, to comprehend where you're headed. 

I asked you for a job on Sunday. 

On Thursday I was offered one. 

I ask you for direction. 

And you send me this?

Are you also teaching me humility? 

Are you teaching me perseverance?

Are you teaching me to just trust you?

Please tell me. 

I just can't seem to get it.

I Cry Out

I cry out for your hand of mercy to heal me

I am weak and I need your love to heal me

Oh Lord, my Rock, my strength in weakness

Come rescue me, Oh Lord

You are my hope, Your promise never fails me

And my desire is to follow You forever

For You are good, for You are good

For You are good to me

For You are good, for You are good

For You are good to me
