It's hard to trust God. There are so many things that go wrong. I guess we treat God like some kind of insurance -- that we make a deal, "okay God I'll believe in you and follow your commands. In exchange, I want assurance that you're just going to ward off all bad things coming my way. Deal?"
I know it doesn't work that way. That's not what we're thinking, but as soon as something really bad happens, I ask "where was God?"
But He was there all along....
And It happened just the same.
A few years ago, I had beef with God for not coming through like I expected Him to. I got over it and decided this time I wasn't going to do it again. It's a choice. I've found it's always a choice. And I'm choosing to trust God. Bad things have happened before and I've always made it through to something better. So experience has taught me just to ride this one out.
Yes God was there and yes it happened anyway, but that's alright with me. I'ma be just fine. For we should count it all as joy to suffer in the name of The One Who Saves.
