Wot?
Another day down, another couple mre's consumed and I still wonder and am amazed by it all. The contradiction and paradox that is faith and most often life continues to be illustrated before me even in and maybe especially in light of our current situation. Who can explain it or even rationally understand the complexities of it all? Who can, with a straight face, not be humbled, awe-struck and smacked with the reality of our minusculeness in comparison to the majesty of even a fallen creation?
I still find it hard to fathom how a mighty oak that once stood proud and strong lays broken and shaken not 10 ft from a plastic birdbath. The seeming randomness of the acts dumbfound me to say the least. How about why 1 house is stripped to the foundation while the next is left unmolested? Does this say anything about the inhabitants, the goodness or badness of their life or the manner in which they walk?
I'm constantly reminded of the Stavesacre ditty that goes something like...should i sit in judgment? do i have to judge me?
i couldn't tell you why good people suffer
i couldn't tell you why the bad ones run free
God showers blessings on the righteous and the wicked
i only know that that covers me...maybe that's all we'll ever know. Maybe finding comfort in that is the key?

Remember that God uses circumstances to work with us. This house hit means He is using that to do something in that persons life. This house left standing means he is doing something else in that persons life. The important thing to remember is that ROM 008:028 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
