Well it has been a while since last posting as things continue to be crazy and live never does seem to slow down. I am finding the older I get the faster it flies which is quite interesting. I recently heard from a family member that the older you get the harder life gets and I wonder if this is true, which it very well could be. God never gives us more than we can handle through His strength and he gives us experiences that prepare us for times further in life. I think that if we knew everything that would happen in each of our own lifetimes and saw every detail, we would run in the opposite direction in sheer terror, because really you don't know how to handle something until your in it.
God's been teaching me an important lesson the last couple of weeks. That really he is the only one who can understand what we are going through. I know that sounds really cliche and like I said before it becomes one of those things that you can't really understand until you've been through it. Especially when the realities of life hit you full force and you don't really understand why, and yet the Holy Spirit is the one who leads and says, "Yes I know. I know what your going through, I know what your feeling, I know the pain. I too was human. I became flesh and felt everything that you could ever feel and more so. I can vouch for you." Because He is both God and man.
By being both God and man, Christ took on every aspect of man. The limitations, the pain, the suffering, the emotions, the hardships; even the joys, the happy times, the memories, etc. And yet with all this He also still maintained all the complexities of God that we could never possibly wish to understand. This is our God.
Much of this has come out of one of the classes I am taking on the book of Job, which continues to prove that God is right. He is always right. We don't have to know why because God is being glorified in the heavenly courtroom. Because somehow through whatever situation He is putting you through it brings Him more glory than if you hadn't gone through it. Heaven is watching, life is kind of like a matrix in a sense (if any of you have seen the matrix ) There are many things that we can't understand and don't know why, but God never does things with no rhyme or reason to it. There is always a purpose, we are just not always given the information.
So take heart those of you who are going through areas that you don't understand why, just know this. God is right and He knows exactly what He doing.
