I pour my fullness into life:
\u2026into people
\u2026into projects
\u2026into faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But sometimes we have to learn to step back and realize– we can’t stress & worry over the things that don’t go right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything isn’t going to end well. People aren’t always going to do the right thing. What we want in life may not be what we actually get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David cries out in Psalm 10:1, “Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thing to understand is that God doesn’t desert us. But, at times, like a good parent, He watches over us from a distance to let us use what we know from His Word about how to handle a situation. Practice perfects our stamina, our abilities, the Godly way we handle circumstances of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m sure it hurts His heart at times seeing His child struggle. But trials remind us that we need Him: His teachings, His backup, His favor & presence. Adversity grows us, develops us, makes us stronger.
Why do bad things happen to good people? Ask Job, whom the enemy requested to tempt, accusing that he would surely turn his back on God if He let him be tempted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can’t always know why things are the way they are; but, we can trust that God is in control, that He will work all things for the good and that He will always be a very good Father\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
