Of course, God’s ways are far beyond our ways. Creation is infinitely more complex and wonderful than we understand. On the other hand, how do we make sense of chaos, pain, and suffering? I believe struggles are critical to developing leaders for the age to come. God is watching for those who will embrace the chaos and questions, confidently walking forward along the narrow path between overpowering others and being overwhelmed by others. God’s people spend daily time with Him to learn to walk that narrow path of joy and peace despite circumstances. They watch eagerly for God’s provision and direction and follow God into the promised land. When we embrace our struggles, instead of trying to escape them or blaming others for not rescuing us, God will use the thorny people and circumstances to change us into His image. Our trials become our friends as they propel us to God. The Good News of the Kingdom is that the Christian life is far superior to any other life, even in this present age. Heaven and earth now overlap, and we can access that realm, the Kingdom of God, through Jesus. Your thoughts?
