This article is an excerpt from the "Adversity" chapter of a book called, "When Grace Comes Home" by Terry Johnson. What a difference from the 'Why God?' responses we generally express when something tragic or adverse happen in our lives. We ask "Why God?" because we know that God is in control, He has all power, He is a good God hating evil - but then we limit Him because we falsely hold a belief that somehow God could not stop the tragedy.
I've always believed that God MUST have a reason but stopped there. I realize that I fail to trust Him and rest in His Sovereignty. This article challenges us to consider not only the fact that God is All-Powerful and Sovereign, but that we can fully trust and rest in His Good and Wise Purposes for us who believe and love Him.
If you have time, read this excerpt.
