The Reasons

 “God allows all things to happen for valid reasons. Some will be revealed to us, some won’t. We need not to seek nor understand those reasons, but to have faith in His wisdom.” (@QuotesEmpire.com)

King Solomon, David and Bathsheba’s son, was wise about the cycle of life for farmers (and everyone else). In Ecclesiastes 3:2 (ICB): There is a time to be born and a time to die. There is a time to plant and a time to pull up plants. I will never understand the heavenly Father’s logic when it comes to human beings.

Why does God allow some people live longer than others (like my maternal grandmother who lived to be 105 years-old)? Why does God choose to heal some people on Earth and others in Heaven (like my younger brother, Jim)?  Why does God decide to get involved in some situation, but choose to remain silent on others (like Bobbi and I’s 8 miscarriages)? I would remind you that the heavenly Father can heal both physically, emotionally, or however He feels you need.

Though I cannot answer the reasoning of God in my own life, I can provide you with the lyrics to Kari Jobe’s song “Healer,” which might provide a glimmer of insight (and hope) for you.

You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
You heal all my disease

 

Chorus

I trust in You, I trust in You

I believe You're my healer
I believe You are all I need
I believe You're my portion
I believe You're more than enough for me


Jesus You're all I need

You hold my very moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease

Chorus


Jesus You're all I need

Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible
Nothing is impossible for You
You hold my world in Your hands
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible
Nothing is impossible for You
You hold my world in Your hands

 

Chorus

 

Yes Jesus You're all I need

You're more than enough for me
Jesus You're all I need
More than enough for me

1 John 5:20 (ERV) says:  And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding. So now we can know the one who is true, and we live in that true God. We are in his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the true God, and he is eternal life. As I have stated in this post, God is not always going to provide all the answers to the “whys” of your life. This above verse does assure us of Jesus’ caring, truthful nature. Who are you depending on to keep your life in order?  Make the right choice.[i]
