I don't really remember turning my car back on. I certainly don't remember changing the radio station to KLove and then turning the volume up. I do remember what happened next though.
The words
"Well I will walk by faith
Even when I cannot see Well because this broken road
Even when I cannot see Well because this broken road
Prepares Your will for me
Help me to win my endless fears
You've been so faithful for all my years
With one breath You make me new Your grace covers all I do..."
hit me like a ton of bricks.
How many times in life are things going beyond good? You're on top of the world and feeling blessed as could be, and then all of a sudden, a wild dilemma smacks you in the face. Yeah, it's easy to praise God when things rock, but call me when you're thanking Him for the bad things.
Why is that so? Why can we thank God and trust God and praise God when things are totally tubular, but the moment things digress, we curse Him and ask Him, "WHY ME!?!?" Uh... What makes you so special that God can't test you and see if you praise Him in the storm. The next time you think about asking, "Why me?" try asking "Why NOT me?" I can promise you that this is something God has been dealing with me on so much. I have lost faith about a gazillion times in the past 7 months (or 17 years, same difference), but every time I think about saying "GOD, WHY ME?" He punches me with those words and makes me feel selfish because, there I go again, ye with little faith. I try to test God, I put Him in a box. I say, "Well this is what He's capable of, so I might as well give up now." Y'all, He literally invented you. He's capable of anything He wants to be capable of. He knows what He's doing. So, I'm reassuring you (and myself) when I say, chill the heck out and let God do His thang.
Peace and love, y'all
