As Far as The Eye Can See


We all have asked this question before: why is this happening to me... Why it is such a little word but can take over an entire mindset if we don't watch it carefully. We often ask God the same question: God WHY are you doing this to me, WHY why WHY WHY WHY..... We get caught up in the moment and the emotions and say what is the use of trying or I don't get "why" God is taking me through this but it is too "hard" so I am going to give up. Instead of asking God why He is taking me through a season as of starting tonight of asking Him how, How is God going to work this out for His good in my life. How is He going to take control in this situation where I cannot see the sun because the clouds are in the way. But taking a new level of hope and saying God I may not know why this is happening but How would you handle this situation with your grace, love and mercy. I have been dealing with an issue with God lately learning to rely only upon his timing. I desire some things so bad but when God told me to wait for them, it is a tough season to walk through. But then God brings me to the verse Romans 8:28 This we know that God works ALL out for the good of those who love him and have been called according to HIS purpose. If that is in the bible then it is truth, plain and simple to the point. He will WORK EVERYTHING out for the good no matter what kind of situation it is, He is in control he knows every day that is ahead of us ( Psalms 139 ) so why do we keep asking God WHY this certain situation keeps arising keeps occurring in our lives if He already knows the end result? Why don't we start asking him HOW this certain situation is going to benefit, uplift us and refine our character? When we start looking through Heaven's eyes no longer will we desire the useless things of this world; sin and on and on.... I think the reason why we look into asking God why is because we find reassurance in knowing that we can sit and cry for a moment or a while, but I know God had bigger plans in store He wants us rather to sit and soak up self pity to leap forth and say that my God is building me up to be stronger. To be bold and say God this season in my life might be hard for the moment, but to say I trust you and this situation is building me up for MY Benefit. God also said in the Bible never would he test us beyond what we can bear those "WHY seasons" are a tester of how strong your faith actually is and if you are willing to pursue God when it is the dry season and the saturated season. But it is through those seasons that when you look to God and say HOW can you use me more, or HOW can I love you more ect. Your faith will grow stronger, the more our faith grows the more we will see Jesus in our daily lives. Our God is a good God and will never harm us or forsake us. We need to be a people who know how to say How God. Show me because I cannot do this alone in my own strength. So lets turn that "WHY" into a How :)

God Bless
