Don't Ask Why

Don't we just love to ask why?
Why is the sky blue? Why isn't the whale a fish? Why can't I stay out late? Why can't I eat potato chips before dinner? Why can't I have Mac's for dinner every day? Why don't boys wear skirts? Why do I have to go to school? Why do I have to do homework?

Then, we grow a little older, but we don't stop asking why.
Why do people get married and divorce again? Why do they laugh at one another? Why do people have to suffer? Why do tsunamis happen? Why do countries go to war? Why don't the rich care more about the poor? Why are some lies called white lies? Why can't we all be happy?

When crisis hits, though, there is one question common to all mankind.
Why me?

Why must this happen?
God, if You're really out there and You really love me, why did You allow this to happen?

As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:9

I've learnt that there are times when you do not need to know why.
All you need to know, is that God is Sovereign, that He is worthy of your trust, and that He loves you dearly, more than you can ever know or imagine.
And that's enough.

So the next time you feel like asking 'why?', don't stop there.
Remember to ask 'who?'
I AM.
says God.
Ask 'what?'
And when God has spoken, remember to do what He asks of you.

Sometimes, He replies with a simple, "Trust Me."
