I Don't Think God "Creates" Anything Any More

I am like a kid in my inner, repeated declarations, "This isn't fair!"

Sometimes, I feel cheated, gypped, and sometimes I lose my faith that this moral and eternal journey is worth it.

"Though down here I may not understand, I won't let go of the Unseen Hand for it holds the reasons why," 4Him.

The same thought that brings so much comfort can at the same time stoke much anger. Has anyone else ever experienced that?

I am ok now. I don't want "encouraging" posts. I want to vent. I need the Word. I want answers and at 38, if I started getting answers now, I really don't know how I'd even handle them!

The questions of today stem from deeper questions, asked a long time ago.

Deep down inside, I still expect answers, my heart's desire, and a table full of miracles.

When I find myself perplexed and disturbed about situations that seem unfair, reading the book of Job somehow helps me to understand, once again... that God is the creator, and His ways are not our ways. While things may seem unfair to our eyes, we cannot see the whole entire picture that He is working on. We may be staring at a puzzle piece and it seems to fit nowhere... but He has the entire puzzle in sight.

It comes down to trust. Do you truly trust God - the one who set this whole entire world in motion, to be fully and capably in control of what goes on within it? His ways are not our ways is one thing that always helps me to remove my eyes from the difficult nature of sin and situations around me, and to trust Him and His goodness for the ultimate good of the situation in the end. And HE has never let me down when I do that.
