"And yet the people of Israel keep saying, 'The Lord is unjust!' O people of Israel, it is you who are unjust not [the Lord]."
- Ezekiel 18:29
When life throws something so unexpected at us, we tend to naturally blame God for what's happening.
"God's not being fair."
We just naturally point our fingers at God.
But stop and think for a while. Before pointing the finger at God, shouldn't we check ourselves first?
He CREATED this world for us to live in.
He PROVIDES our daily essentials.
He's so FAITHFUL that promised that He would NEVER leave us nor forsake us.
He gave up His VERY OWN SON in order to save us from our eternal punishment, which is hell.
He washes us CLEAN from our sins, giving us the gift of eternal life with Him.
His UNFAILING love changes us from the inside out, constantly renewing us.
He gives us the STRENGTH and THE DELIVERANCE we need to overcome struggles and trials.
He COMFORTS and COUNSELS us when the world throws problems at us.
He PROTECTS us from being harmed.
He HEALS our sicknesses, broken hearts, broken relationships, etc.
He LOVES us unconditionally no matter how many times we've broken His heart.
He WANTS to be involved in our lives by having close relationships with us.
And He does SO MUCH MORE.
What about us?
Do we give God the time that He deserves from us?
Are we tithing faithfully?
Do we serve God the best that we can?
Do we love God by loving others as well?
Do we take the time to know God as intimately as He knows us?
Are we giving God our EVERYTHING?
Let's stop and think for a while..
