Happy August!! The summer is flying by and I'm trying to do last minute get-togethers with friends before they go back to college. Today I am sharing a quote that really touches me, especially right now. I don't know about you, but I question God sometimes. Why does He allow this event to happen in my life? Why does He take away or keep away something that I think would be good? Things happen that make no sense in my human mind and I want to know why. Can anyone relate? Sometimes, I've been able to look back on events and see God's hand protecting me from much worse than I experienced. Other times, I know that God is directing and calling, but that doesn't make the pain better.
This Mark Batterson quote is a great reminder to me in times when I'm asking "why". He knows more than I do and He loves me and everyone involved more than I can imagine. I don't always know what is good for me. There's another quote that is similar from John Newton. It says, "Everything is necessary that God sends; nothing can be necessary that He withholds". When I'm in a season where things don't make sense, I hold to the fact that God is bigger and remind myself of the truths of these quotes. It also helps me to look back on the things that I can see in hindsight were good, even though it didn't seem so at the time. Have you had an experience that in hindsight, you can see God's provision and protection? What helps you in the seasons of "why"? Blessings, Sarah
