Are we suppose to question God? The answer may surprise alot of Christians!

I love this scripture, it really humbles me and puts me in my place every time I think I have figured out God! This was the mistake of the pharisees and it is also the mistake of today's organized religious establishments. God is slowly revealing his ways to us and it is for us to search it out and watch.
Isaiah 55:8-9
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

One thing the Lord brought to my understanding a while back is that, sometime we see things that looks really bad to our natural eye. We always wonder why would God let a loved one get Alzheimer's, or cancer, or even how could some other religion use their kids to go into a mine field to martyr them so the adults can have a clean path to proceed to continue their terror! THESE WERE MY QUESTIONS! Like The Faithful Father he always proves to be he really put this into perspective for me.

First, The Holy Spirit brought to my remembrance this scripture:
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

As I prayed and meditated on these questions that I had, and on the scripture God answered me with, it became so very clear!!!

I had a friend whose mother had Alzheimer's, and as I got to know my friend more and more she opened up about how her mother had unforgiveness in her heart toward someone she was close to! When the sickness set in, the person that she resented would walk in the room and this sweet lady LIT UP, because she no longer remembered all the bad things and now adored this person all over again like when she first met them! What do we know about unforgiveness? Again the Lord reminded me of a scripture while we were having this conversation.
Matthew 6:15
But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
She eventually died, but when she died there was no resentment or unforgiveness in her heart! SO, WAS THIS A BAD THING, OR DID GOD DO WHAT WAS NECESSARY TO SHOW HER MERCY? If she could not forgive he wouldn't forgive her, but in the end there was nothing to keep him from forgiving her. I saw this as a beautiful act of God!

When I thought about sickness and cancer, I was reminded of all the praise reports of people who in their darkest hour found the Jesus. Would they have found him if they weren't challenged with their health and even facing death? Maybe, but God know what he has to let happen to each of us in order to save, teach, or even DISCIPLINE us in his ways! So if a cancer patient found Jesus, then died, it was a merciful act of God because really what happened was they found LIFE WITH JESUS FOREVER! THERE WAS NO DEATH AT ALL!!!

As for my last question, about the abused children of islam, and their beliefs of their disposable children, to our natural eye it is an abomination and hurts to see these babies taught such hate! It is not there fault they were born into that, and God knows that. Then The lord reminded me of this scripture:
39 ‘Moreover, your little ones who you said would become a prey, and your sons, who this day have no knowledge of good or evil, shall enter there, and I will give it to them and they shall possess it.
When we see the things these young children are put through and they die, THEY FINALLY INHERIT PEACE WITH JESUS IN THE REAL KINGDOM! So as sad as it is, it is still God at work showing his mercy

If you have something in your life that you just can't fathom why God would let this happen to you, just remember that he sees so much farther down the road than we can! His ways are higher than our ways! Those who endure till the end shall be saved! With this lesson I learned to try to see things through the light instead of through the darkness. For me that enabled me to shine a brighter light than before!

People always say "I don't question God." My question to them is WHY NOT! Questioning God in a respectful way shows him you are seeking answers. Not worldly answers but spiritual answers. Isn't that what he said to do in scripture?
Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
LOOK AT THE WORD SEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUESTION GOD! It is the only way to walk in the spirit!
Galatians 5:16-17
16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE HOW GOD WORKS IN THE SPIRIT IF YOU LOOK WITH YOUR FLESH, YOUR OWN MIND, OR YOUR NATURAL EYE!

PROVERBS 3:5
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

With love always in Jesus Christ!
