The answers we want
Sometimes the situation rattles your theology, leaving you with questions and no answers. The answer always comes. It just isn't always the one we wanted.
From time to time we come across situations that rattle our theology… And leave us with many questions and no answers.
A good friend of mine is grieving the death of his marriage. It is not only that he is a good friend. He is also one of my mentors… a person who has had an enormous impact on my life and ministry.
I don't even know where to begin. Not even sure what to ask God.
Or if I should just wait… The answer always comes. It is just that many times the answer we want or the answer we were trained to expect is not the one we get.
Thank God He is our answer. And He is still in control.
I will wait and pray. All I can do even when I don't understand.
