March 31, 2000	Revelation 19:5
Confusion
"Then a voice came from the throne, saying: ‘Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, both small and great!’" Sometimes we all go through times of confusion in our faith. After all, the definition of faith is "unquestioning belief." How easy is that for most of us? When things happen to the people in our lives that seem senseless - the death of a child, a devastating illness, marital difficulties - it is not easy to hold on to faith. Yet when these things happen, sometimes the only thing you have to hold on to is your faith in God. In Jesus. Sometimes he is the only thing that does make sense. Bad things DO happen to GOOD people. Why? I guess we can ask our Lord when we see him. Until then, we’ll just have to have faith.
Prayer: Lord, give us the strength to praise you even in the difficult times of our lives. Help us to see the sense in the senseless, the sane in the insanity, and your will in every situation. And if we just cannot see it, help us to accept it. Amen.
