We have to decide right now if God is someone we can trust with our whole lives or not -- when something comes into our families or our careers or our situations that's hard or even treacherous, will we become angry with a God who loves us -- or will we still trust Him?
When the flames are licking at our feet and the furnace is getting hot, will we say, "I'm out, God? I'll be back when things cool down or when You're a little nicer or when You're in control again."
Does God have a better plan for your life than you do? Is He really God in every situation, no matter what? Because God doesn't owe us an explanation for all His actions.
(Yeah, I didn't think I'd get a standing "O" for that one.)
But He doesn't.
When we get to the new heaven and new earth God will create for us, all will be revealed -- but He doesn't owe us a full account down here.
But I'll tell you this. He's good -- and He knows -- and He can be trusted.
And be blessed.
