Proverbs 19: 21

Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.

Why is probably the most asked question in the world. A great number of the why  is directed at God. People as a rule question anything they don't understand, and why things happen is number one.

First of all, we live in a fallen world. It is full of evil, corruption, hate, and everything else that  satan stands for. He is the king of all that leads to  destruction.

We must realize that each of us has a free will. We can choose God or satan. God has to allow what goes on, because He cannot take back free will.

Joshua 1: 9, Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

The Bible tells us that those who are condemned at the judgement will know that they deserve condemnation. Their thoughts and actions through life brought them to where they are. Their rejection of Jesus was the ultimate transgression.

Life is a test for those who call on Jesus too. The testing helps us to see how we are doing. If we are honest with ourselves, we come to the realization that we are sinners and need a savior, and that Savior is Jesus.

There are other times God allows something, because it is a part of His overall plan for us or someone who is a part of His plan along with us.

Jeremiah 29:11, for I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Everything that happens in our lives, is the cross we are to take up if we follow Jesus. Jesus is the son of God but He still had to take up His cross literally. He did it without complaining, trusting our father, and keeping His eye on Heaven. Great example for us. If we forget about asking why so much, and think about what the Bible says, about trusting God, we will realize that we have the answer to why. God bless you and your family. 

Praise the Lord !

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus please forgive all of my sins, and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve only you. 

Praise the Lord! 

Amen
