Most of the time, we complain why we experience such bad things in our lives- why we have to suffer, why we have to experience injustices, why those who do unrighteous things are those who are full., why wicked prevails as some says.
In this situations, we could not help but to ask why? In the book of Habakkuk, he has also complained to God.
"How long, LORD, must I call for help, but you do not listen?
Or cry out to you, “Violence!”
but you do not save?
Why do you make me look at injustice?
Why do you tolerate wrongdoing?
Destruction and violence are before me;
there is strife, and conflict abounds.
Therefore the law is paralyzed,
and justice never prevails.
The wicked hem in the righteous,
so that justice is perverted"
-Habakkuk 1:1-4
The Lord's reply was....
“Look at the nations and watch— and be utterly amazed.
For I am going to do something in your days
that you would not believe,
even if you were told(v.5)"
The Lord is not blind that He could not see and he is not deaf that He could not hear. He knows all human plans(Psalms 94:9-10).
The Lord is just putting things, situations and persons into position. It is said in Ecclesiastes that there is time for everything. We do not know his ways but His plans for us are for our own good-plans to give us hope and good future (Jeremiah 29:11).
It is really hard to live in this world where offerings of flesh are just around, where the lust of the flesh and eye steals the true meaning of JOY and converts it to the enjoyment of getting what fulfills our wants or desires. Most of the time, we want to be carried out by these offerings, but we take confidence with what the LORD has promised or the covenant we have with HIM.
-To God be the Glory now and forever. Amen.
