Today's song is Why God by Austin French.
Often at times we look around at the things going on around us and can't help but be disheartened. The tragedies and the bad things going on in the world seem to be increasing day by day. Even in our personal lives, we face challenges and struggles. And it's easy for us to wonder if God is really there. After all, if He's an all-loving and merciful God, why does He allow these things to happen? That seems to be the age-old question regarding Christianity.
But it's not that God is turning a blind eye to all these things or He simply doesn't care. No. God cares and his heart aches at all the injustice and sorrow in the world. He empathises with what you're going through too. The question then is, why doesn't He stop it but rather allows it? Well, it's because He is God. He knows that at the end of the tunnel, there is light and there is hope. He knows that there is a reason for everything; one thing must happen for something else to follow. So maybe your bad situation needs to happen for a greater joy to occur.
We might never understand the things going on or why God does what He does. However He wouldn't be God if we understood His every deed; that would make Him a mere mortal like us.
All God asks is that we have faith in Him and trust in the process. In loneliness, through the pain, through the heartache and the troubles, God is right there, holding your hand and guiding you through. Just believe in Him and let His love be demonstrated through you.
Hope you enjoy the song.
