pondering over the issue of circumstances
-
I was discussing with Tim before:
how it is possible that,
God opens doors, only to slam it into one’s face immediately when you’re just about to go through the door?-
after all, God is never a sadist
or a kill-joy for that matter
-
so in circumstances like this
who can we blame?
-
Somehow, one of the biggest assumptions one can make is this:
when I’m blessed, God is at work
whenever trouble comes, its Satan’s fault
-
somehow you cant make this assumption
that God only gives good things
-
Satan was never an antithesis of God, he cannot be viewed in an equal light to God
-
God is sovereign over every circumstance, all things come from Him, not just good things
-
and we cannot simply say that Satan is responsible for every bad thing that happens.
-
because God has to give Satan the authority before he can even do anything to us... as seen in Job 1-2
we could always say, God is admonishing and disciplining us for mistakes, the blame lies with us
-
but somehow its important, that is not always the case... Job never did anything wrong before he was inflicted
-
or it could just be, God is testing us, so that we may grow more...
-
that God, is to blame...
-
somehow, when that happened
I questioned my intentions again
-
was it really, as Charles suggested, some subtle thought of being able to be with a particular person?
-
I highly doubt it... although after that time, i was rather fed up and frustrated,
-
it was really for the right reasons? I hoped at least. for the sake of them, for the sake of Christ
-
and there also the same excuse,
I quote mr Ng:
“good intentions vs God excellent plan”
-
the same old excuse whenever anything goes wrong,
But its never a reason to give up something worth fighting for.
just because of a few obstacles, it doesn’t mean God doesn’t want a person to do something,
-
but either way, I’ll wait and see...
and pray more...
-
and somehow, everything is so hypocritical
since you all said before
“God equips the called, not vice versa”
-
