| Why Lord, Why |
| When tragedy strikes the simple straightforward soothing answers that we often give as Christians seem suddenly inadequate. Our preconceived ideas about life's situations and God, the creator of all things no longer fit in into the stark reality. Many times they even become reasons for us to ask more questions. What do you do in such a situation? How do you handle such a time, unperturbed? I have not attempted to give answers to the questions people often ask when things fall apart in their lives. Neither have I tried to set aside or discredit those given already. But by the help of the Holy Spirit, I will try to point your attention to Him who holds the key to every situation of life, as we reason together from His words so you may hold on to Him. He never promised a trouble-free life but has said, This is the central focus of this book: that in all situations of life, no matter how terrible and petrifying, there is hope in Him. We need to know that the only way to keep our head in times of unfavourable circumstances is that trust, absolute dependence on and surrender to God's unfailing hands. It is sufficient for you to know that no matter what has happened, He is able to see you through it. And that He is not only able but also ready to bring you out of the darkness into His floodlight where you can rise and shine again. We must learn to trust and take solace in that trustworthy promise, 'I will be with you'. It is comforting to know that in whatever situation you are passing through you are not alone. God's tripartite character of omniscience, omnipresence and omnipotence should assure us that no situation whatsoever can escape His attention and that nothing in our experiences is beyond His ability. |
