So what are my conclusions from the last two blog posts?
In the first one, "Why?", I shared some possible answers as to why good things and bad things happen in general, however there were no answers for specific situations. There are still no answers for why my brother died as a result of his car accident while other people have been miraculously healed.
When Job asked, "Why?", God didn't give him answers for his specific situation either.
We do not know why God heals some people and lets others die. We do not know why some people live relatively happy lives while others experience a lot of pain and suffering. God hasn't given us answers for our specific situations. What he has done, is given us a picture of who He is.
- God created each and every one of us and the world in which we live.
- God is love.
- God paid the price for our sin so that He could live with us forever.
- God wants to be with us.
- He paints the glorious sunsets and sunrises.
- He hangs the dew drops on the blades of grass and embeds them in the spiders' web.
Study the Bible (particularly the gospels) and nature to find out more about who God really is.
God has not given us answers for our specific situations, but one day He will (though not in this lifetime). We need to trust Him and wait.
