Life doesn’t always work the way we think it should. High expectations slam against unwelcome surprises. At those times it’s hard to feel the presence of God.

If He is everywhere and loves us like he says he does, why does he allow the loss of a job      or home      or a loved one?

God has gone to great lengths to make himself known to us—

through the Bible, through his people, through nature, and through his only Son who died for us.

The author and speaker, Dr. Joel Muddamalle (Mood-am-AL-Lay) says that every time he asks, “Why”, God reminds him,

Who created and sustains all things? Who defeated death? Who comforts us in our pain and sorrow? To all of these questions- we answer, our Heavenly Father.

Joel goes on to say that every time someone asks the question “why do bad things happen to good people” he answers,

“God, I don’t know. But you do. And that will be good enough for me.”
