URGENT

Why it is that life so often makes things urgent that we would see as unimportant? All the things you decide are critical can change in a heartbeat.

And so many times it is what we never thought would ever happen. Boy is that embarrassing.

Nothing can make you feel dumber than to discover what you thought was a priority really didn’t matter.

Course in life the one thing that will always disrupt the flow of choice is when a crisis is life threatening. Then you suddenly see things different.

First thing that goes is plans. So many are made under the assumption you have lots of time.

But naturally none of us is guaranteed any number of heart beats. We just have now no matter what we believe.

Still it will bring such a flood of questions. Always among them is why am I being punished?

That is how we feel at times when faced with such emergency. Just filled with anger and resentment.

Then we will see someone who is say a devout criminal that never suffers and be even more angry. It will make us so upset.

Sooner or later we do come to the point of asking if we are believers about why God has forsaken us. Oh we might not say it that way, but will think it.

Right now I’m in one of those crisis. And have no idea how it will turn out. I do know that I have an odd sense of peace about it.

Not saying I see it coming out okay. Just that God has been mercifully to me about it. And for that I am grateful.

Sure I don’t understand it. And I know it wasn’t because I did something wrong. It is just a test that comes.

And I respect that God doesn’t guarantee us that He will prevent us from knowing any heartache or pain.

What we can do is to trust Him. To know that the Lord has His reasons and they will make sense in due season.

There can be peace in such knowledge if we accept it.
