Fantastic Friday #508 - Why?

Why?

12 In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. 13 I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory. Ephesians 3:12-13

I am guilty of asking this question too many times. Do you find that you are wondering why, asking why and feeling a sense of why? It is human nature to ask these questions because we seek knowledge. However, when we go through a difficult time we tend to ask that quickly, typically saying why me and why now? Our memories are short and tend not to remember coming out of those struggles and challenges and who brought us out of them. What we tend to focus on is why God is allowing this. Well this scripture is a good reminder of how we need to approach God, and not get discouraged. It is through our sufferings that make us strong and through our challenges that make us lean into Him even more. Don't ask why, but ask how do you want me to respond Lord.

Have a great weekend.
