THE ANSWERS
Scripture Text:
I will return her vineyards to her and
transform the Valley of Trouble into a
gateway of hope.”
~Hosea 2:15
REFLECTION
1. Had you ever felt being worried lately?
2. Had you ever think of giving up your faith?
3. Do you always think of “ What ifs?”
Maybe you are going through a
difficult valley. Maybe you are
disappointed with God because you
have lost a loved one or because you
have been battling that medical
condition year after year.
I want to encourage you not to
ask, “Why?” Asking why will only lead you
on a downward spiral into depression. Don’t
ask, “Why did this happen to me?” Don’t
ask, “Why is my loved one going through one
tragedy after another?” or Why so I have this
kind of life.
The fact is, in this fallen world, we don’t have
all the answers. One day, we will receive our
new bodies, where the corruptible will put on
incorruption, and the mortal will put on
immortality (1 Cor. 15:53). But until then, I
recognize that sometimes bad things happen
and I don’t know why
But what I do know is this: God is a good God.
He loves us, and He is never behind any pain
we go through. Our faith in Him is not based
on our experiences; it is based on the
unchanging, eternal Word of God, which
cannot lie.
Even when things didn’t go the way you
wanted them to, don’t remain in your
disappointment. The devil wants you to get
angry with God and to give up on His
promises. But keep believing that God
is for you and not against you.
Even if the enemy has destroyed something
in your life, and even if years have been lost
as you waited for the manifestation of your
healing, or the days of your youth have
been stolen from you, keep believing that
God can restore to you what you have lost
My friend, “let us hold fast the confession of
our hope without wavering, for He who
promised is faithful” (Heb. 10:23). Keep on
looking to the Lord for your breakthrough.
And if you find that you are too tired to
believe anymore, I pray that this promise will
carry you through:
But those who wait on the Lord shall
renew their strength; they shall mount up
with wings like eagles, they shall run and
not be weary, they shall walk and not
faint.
-Isaiah 40:31
