I found myself whimpering this question one night as I cried myself to sleep! Why must I go through the pain?
My Pain:
I found myself whimpering this question one night as I cried myself to sleep! Why? The pain was unbearable- I had so many questions? Why must I go through this pain- why? It’s too much… I can’t take it anymore…. then suddenly, I felt a resolve rising in me, more like a resounding peace – a stillness in the quiet of the night.
My tears had reached a breaking point and I could finally see through them. I sat at my computer and began to look for comforting words from a woman who gave her life in an unselfish way to others- Mother Teresa~
Point:
As our relationship deepens with the Lord, so will our trust in his timing, in his purpose and in his direction.
Scripture Reference
Romans chapter 9
This chapter illustrates God’s sovereignty:
1. In Verse 13- God says, Jacob have I loved, and Esau have I hated.
2. In verse 15- God says, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy.
3. In verse 17- God says, Pharaoh was raised up to show God’s glory.
4. In verse 21- God says, He makes one vessel unto honor and one unto dishonor.
5. In verse 25- God says, I will call them my people, which were not my people.
God is basically saying, I’m SOVEREIGN.
His question: Does that offend you?
His solution: Whosoever believes on me, shall not be ashamed.
In other words, “I know what I’m doing, and I do whatever I want! Trust in me and you won’t be ashamed!!
Prayer
Lord open our hearts to understand your sovereignty. Open our minds to the totality of your existence. Lord we yield our why’s to you as we surrender our hearts to the process. May we trust in your word that all things are working together for out good for those called to your purpose.
God your SOVEREIGN!
