Let God Be God And Manage The World

When the world shows us calamities and misfortunes, we get blinded with hopelessness that we fail to see the deep restorative endeavour of God working from underneath.

The troubles that happen in the world usually happen suddenly - hence can be recorded. However, God's healing capacity works gradually over a period of time to heal the greatest wound or bring hope after the greatest loss.
 
The work of God cannot be recorded because God works in ways we cannot see or understand instantly; however, out mind can easily grasp the adversities that happen around us because the world operates at a level that we can see and understand.
 
The world records events from a tangible, finite and limited vision. But God's work happens at an intangible and deeper level that can only be experienced but cannot be easily recorded.


WHAT THE MEDIA SHOWS US IS NOT THE COMPLETE PICTURE; WHAT GOD HAS IS THE ACCURATE PICTURE; OUR VISION IS LIMITED; LET GOD BE GOD AND TAKE CARE OF THE WORLD; LET ME BE MAN AND DO WHAT GOD HAS CALLED ME TO DO.

 
The enemy loves it when we rely on our limited understanding and question the goodness of God

"Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture!" - 1 Corinthians 13:9

We Are Meant To Be With God Eternally


When God says that he will not leave us nor forsake us, he is talking from an eternal perspective.
Life is just a journey. Just because I feel lost at times during this journey, that does not mean I am actually lost or it does not mean that God has forsaken me.
God does mind making my journey through life uncomfortable if that helps me get to the right destination. In other words, if God made our life too comfortable on this earth, we would forget that this is just a journey and place our hope on this temporal world - which will disappoint us ultimately.
When God says that he will not forsake us, he is telling that we are his forever and ever; we are meant to be with him eternally; that all that we are going through on this earth will not and cannot not separate us from him forever; that suffering is not permanent because this world is not meant to last; that he is calling us to see things through his eyes.

Death, destruction and suffering that we see around causes hopelessness to those who eyes are set on things that are not meant to last; but to those whose eyes are set on the one who is meant to last, life on earth is just a preparation for life eternal.

 ALL EVENTS ON EARTH ARE MANAGED BY GOD FROM AN ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE; THIS EARTH IS NOT MEANT TO LAST BUT THE WILL OF GOD IS; JUST BECAUSE I DON'T UNDERSTAND DOES NOT MEAN IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE.
