If or when tragedy befalls us we often ask ourselves"Where is God in all this"?Well as this word says"I will never leave you or forsake you" so it is certain that God is right there beside us. Just because we don't see him does not mean he is not there. Through the good and the bad, the happy and the sad God is there with us through it all. We should never doubt his existence or his presence in our lives. We do not live by our own timetable. God's time is the right time and we must respect his time because he is the only one that knows the future. Every day we must ask God to get us through each day and at night we must thank him for getting us through that day because yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not here yet. We have to live in the present time because our future is so uncertain. Ecclesiastes 3
King James Version
3 To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak.8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. That is God's timetable and it is more accurate than our own. Enjoy every moment life gives us each day. The scent of a flower the chirping of a bird the buzzing of a bee the voices of nature and the taste of freedom which we have fought all these years to possess. when I was a child I used to rake leaves for a few dollars. sometimes I would turn around and fall back on the pile of leaves knowing that they would catch me. Tonight as you sleep fall back on God. Lay in your bed and know that when you fall back on him he will give you the rest you need to begin another day. Let all your worries and troubles go and put God in place of them. He is in control. Fear not for it is God's will for you to live breathe and have your being until his appointed time for you to pass from death to eternal life in heaven. Can you just smell that flower right now.?
