There are seasons in our lives when we go through things and we find ourselves in the valley of why. Well, sometimes things just happen that we have no control of. We ask God why we struggle, why we hurt, why do bad things happen to good people, why did so many storms leave so much devastation, and will anything change? This is where we stop and think about all of the things going on in the world today. We want answers to all of our questions, but will we ever get them? We read books, watch movies, go to seminars, and we still do not have our questions answered.
To often we forget as to who has all of our answers to the questions that we have. People thought Noah was crazy because he was building an ark. They asked him why and he told them. He told them that it was going to rain but they didn’t believe him. When it began to rain, he and all of his family , and all of the animals male and female entered the ark, that answered their question. God silenced all of their questions.
Our mind will keep us up at night with questions needing to be answered, but when that happens, we just need to get up and pray and ask God to silence all of the questions that are keeping us awake. God gives us rest so we can be fresh and new to start a new day. He does not want us to be bogged down with questions that will keep us from resting. Let us not find ourselves in the valley of why. Let us cast all of our cares on God because He cares for us. He loves us. Let us rest in Him.
All praises be to God, and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; who was and is and is to come, Amen.
