QUESTIONS WITHOUT ANSWERS
Each time when I face a 'storm' or just a 'rain-drop' in my life, without fail a quiet question comes to my mind. It's only a very small word :"why?"
There is something within us that wants to know why certain things happen to us, usually the 'bad' or unfortunate things like sickness, accident, loss of a job or baby etc. It's as though by knowing the reason will lessen the pain somewhat. By now, we should realized that the answers would not necessarily bring the healing.
At some point in our life, we must come to the place where we're asked to open our hands, release our questions, and embrace God whose ways we do not understand but whose heart we know. The moment we can finally release the 'why' to embrace the "WHO" is when we find our rest. Isaiah 55:8 (Extracted from 'Rain on Me' by Holley Gerth

Our life is filled with questions and none can offer an answer. Asaph, one of the songwriter in Psalm shared the same sentiments. I was greatly helped by his experience. He was disillusioned, he felt that he was spiritually committed but what he got was plagues and chastening. However, when he went into the sanctuary of God, then he understood...Psalm 73:17. In the presence of his God, everything changed except his circumstances. With a renewed vision of God, Asaph found that lesser issues came into focus. His new perspective changed his attitude.
Let us be encouraged!!
