Be glad and persist. All too often we wonder why we have to endure trials. Stop asking God why. Start asking why not. Not that you should be happy when you endure fiery tests and tribulations; however, you should realize that your life is no more precious than any other. God loves us each the same. Whatever trial you are going through – someone else has it worse than you. Be glad and thankful. Know that God will bless you in return. Often he returns blessings by a hundredfold. Be glad. Persist. Don’t give up. Help and give love to one another.

My wife, Karen, says I ask God why questions. She doesn’t. Karen understands God does what He does. My inquiring mind seeks to know the whys of what God allows. Yet, I have learned one can carry that too far. God doesn’t explain His actions to us. He only tells us what He feels we need to know. If He does that, there is a reason. Perhaps, we didn’t grasp what He has to say to us, so He needs to give us more details, for us to comprehend what He is saying to us.

Yes, God does tell us what he thinks we need to know. But you’re right, the universe doesn’t always make sense. That’s ok. He is in control.👆 Thank you for the feedback, Dr. Osborne. Happy New Year and blessings to you!😊

That is so true, Zina. My dad told me years ago that you are always in the middle. Someone always has things better and worse than you. Some days it’s really tough to be positive.
