Dear friends, today we will discuss an important topic – not questioning God. We all know that there are many situations in life when we do not understand why these things are happening. Then naturally the question arises in our mind – “Why is this happening?” or “God, where are you?” Then it is natural to ask God.
But you know, if we trust in God instead of asking these questions, then a lot of peace can come into our lives. It is a little like a child’s thing – like a small child walking holding his parents’ hand, he does not know where he is going, but he is calm because he knows that his parents want the best for him. Similarly, if we walk holding God’s hand, then we may not always understand the path of our life, but we can be calm that he is doing everything for our good.
Remember, God is in control of everything. When a storm comes in our life, it may seem like everything is in chaos. But God is with us even in that storm. He knows when the storm will stop, and how the sun will rise in our life after that storm.
Let me tell you an incident from my own life. A few years ago I lost a job. I was so frustrated that I asked God, “Why did this happen?” But I later realized that losing that job led to the job I’m doing now, which is much better for me. God had a better plan for my life that I didn’t understand at the time.
Look, God’s wisdom is much greater than ours. He sees the bigger picture that we can’t. We just have to trust that God is always working for our good.
Remember, it’s not wrong to ask questions. But it’s important to trust God even if you don’t always get the answers.
