Looking For: Understanding / 11.18.08, 12:07 PM
I’m realizing more and more that I’m someone that likes to have the answers. I like to understand why things are the way they are. I am usually pretty good at clinging to truth in the midst of hard times, but this past week has been pretty tough. It’s beyond my understanding. There’s a song that we used to sing with ACF at Penn State called “You Are Still Holy”. I love the words of that song. The lyrics are:
Holy, You are still holy
Even when the darkness surrounds my life
Sovereign, You are still sovereign
Even when confusion has blinded my eyes
It’s easy to say those words and mean it when everything is going well. How much harder it is to believe that God is holy and sovereign when you’re surrounded by injustice, poverty, and suffering. I’ve really been struggling to understand why God allows these things to happen. Just when I come to a place of beginning to understand, my eyes are opened to more suffering. It hurts. I know that God is at work, but it’s hard to understand. Perhaps I don’t need to get it. His Word says that the peace of God transcends understanding. I just need to seek the Lord and trust that He is in control even when things are hard.
Please keep our neighbors and our team in your prayers. We need it.
