Our God is in Control

Without going into too much detail I can say that the Lord has certainly shook my world in numerous ways the last several days. I wrote about A Grief Observed earlier and yet I seemingly had little concept of what the term actually meant. We can never expect to understand grief and suffering as our Lord did, but we can continue to grow in our trust and belief in His faithfulness. Now is such a moment where I need to trust in His great faithfulness.

However, in the moment it can be very difficult to surrender to His will and plan, because we are humans and how can we expect to understand suffering and why things happen the ways they do? It is never easy and it always hurts.

In such moments it is extremely important to cling even closer to the Lord by turning to His scripture and even music can be helpful to process because our hearts are heavy and our minds are too weary to think properly. Since I was in such a place, I meditated over some verses and a few songs.

"I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die..."

"When Jesus saw [Mary] weeping...he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled...Jesus wept." ~ John 11

Please pray for all the suffering and pain that engulfs this world and that all peoples might be comforted in their grief for Our God is in Control. We may have questions on questions but despite how hard it is to acknowledge in these hard times my lips will always say, "Whate'er my God Ordains is Right." Let that be our prayer today because the Lord shares our pain and He is deeply troubled by our suffering.

All the glory to Him.
