"THE LORD DIRECTS OUR STEPS, so why try to understand everything along the way."
So many people are puzzled and question why bad things happen to good people. Why does God allow little babies to die? Why do disasters happen? If I am a Christian believer and Love God why do I have to suffer? How many times have you heard non believer's and even some believers' ask these questions? They all ask the same question in different ways. If God is a "Good God", why does He allow bad things to happen? Many use these questions as an excuse to never accept and believe in God. That way they do not have to bow down, worship and serve the Lord, and they can be their own god! They can do their own thing and not respect God's Laws and His Word! By rejecting God they can do any shameful thing with seeming impunity and adopt any life style no matter how harmful. Drug addiction, alcoholism, homosexuality and adultery are just some of the many reasons they deny God to direct their steps!
By not serving God or allowing Him to direct your steps you will fail to understand why you suffer the consequences along the way. Believer's have the peace and security of knowing that when we allow God to direct or steps and our way and walk in His path of righteousness that we will be Saved. We know that we do not have the mind of God and unlike Him we can not see the end from the beginning. What man may perceive as bad may be good in the eternal perspective of God. Remember to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord and that is a win, not a loss. Death has no victory over us and the grave has no sting. To be in heaven with the Lord is not a bad thing to have happen to you! It would be ludicrous to hear someone ask, "why would a "good God" allow a good person to join with Him in Heaven and receive eternal life in perfection? The baby that died is with the Lord immediately. That disaster allowed many to enter the kingdom of Heaven right now! The Christian that died of cancer is with the Lord in perfection, forever!
Why should we try to understand all of the steps along the way in our lives? God's ways are not our ways, and God's mind is not our mind! What we need to be sure of is that THE LORD DIRECTS OUR STEPS! If you believe, love and know Him, that is the One Truth Today! If you do not believe in God there is another vital question that your life depends on. You will never understand the infinite mind of God and only by faith and accepting His Salvation can you over come death. God is infallible and Omnipotent, you are not. You will never understand every
thing until you come to a faith in Jesus Christ the Lord God. You will understand when you can say, THE LORD DIRECTS OUR STEPS!
