Well  as you can see, today I had been asking the question “why Why WHY?? ” in my previous post, have been so confuse and couldn’t understand why all these are happening.

Then I started to pray and seek God for guidance. Out of the blue, I decided to do visit “Our Daily Bread” to see if I could find any answers. Today’s topic was on “The Challenge Of Forgiveness”, and I really learned alot from that and decided to read more from the previous days devotion. Then as I was going on with all the previous article, I got stunned when I saw the topic of the  April 7, 2008 article and the topic was “Why? Why? Oh, Why?”

The reading was from Proverbs 3:1-12  and the article goes like this :

Why must I suffer disappointment, sorrow, and tribulation? What have I done that God should send me trials? Is He displeased with me? These questions are constantly asked by God’s dear children.

Much of this fear and questioning is due to our misunderstanding of God’s dealings with His own. He has His good reasons. And one of those reasons is for our spiritual discipline. We should be far more afraid of being left alone than of God’s chastening, for He wastes no time on worthless objects that give no promise of fruitfulness.

On the shores of Lake Michigan are great barren sand dunes that have never felt the point of a plow. But in the rich lowlands beyond them, the farmer is constantly cultivating the soil. The farmer knows what he is doing, so he keeps on breaking up the soil. The deeper the plow works and the more the sharp harrow, the more precious the crop will be when harvest time comes.

God’s plow goes deep, but it is only that in the end we may forget the plowing and rejoice in the blessing of bearing much fruit for Him. “No chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it” (Heb. 12:11).  — M.R. De Haan

When blades of distress cut deep in the soul,
Breaking up ground that was untouched before,
The Lord is preparing soil to bear fruit
Fit for the harvest to feed many more. —Hess

All sunshine and no rain make a desert.

 

Indeed God heard me and he is answering and speaking to me through the article above and most of all from Proverb 3:5-7 : “  5Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes”

And this is a very important lesson I learned today, always seek God for help in trouble time, he is always listening and for sure he will answer our prayer.

GOD IS ALWAYS WATCHING OVER ME !!
