I totally agree with Selwyn when he states: “No one believes in miracles more than I do, and I have witnessed enough of them to know that there is nothing God cannot do. I am also sure of this, however: sin has struck deep into the universe, and although God intervenes at times to produce astonishing miracles of deliverance, life is, … still ‘more tragic than orderly’. …
God would prefer us to bring our hard questions (e.g. why does He let tragedies occur) out into the open rather than pretend they are not there. God won’t always answer us, but we will find, … that He rewards His sincere but confused followers with a richer sense of His prescence.”
I believe Jesus uses all our difficult times to strengthen our relationship with Him – so that when the winds blow cold and hard, we will lean-in towards Him and depend more and more on Him, to lead us home. What do you think?
