I know this sounds weird , but is there a way to know what God will do and WHY he does it. Like how the second coming of Christ might be near and we see the signs, but it hasn't come. And another example why does God allow our people to go through the things they go through. Like if someone is a Christian (faithfully and strong) but they find out something bad like a sickness. Not trying to start anything, but I'm very curious. Thanks in advance.
Dear sister, our walks with God are individual. I have yet to be tested as Job, and yet God said of him in
Job_1:8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that
there is none like him in the earth,
a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
King David did near everything wrong such as taking another man’s (Uriah) wife (Bathsheba), and basically had him killed because David had gotten her pregnant. David did suffer consequence as a result, but God said this of him in prophesy; Act_13:22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the
son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.
In Dan_3:23 God allowed his faithful servants Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, to be cast down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. What did they do? They wouldn’t bow down to the golden image of Nebuchadnezzar. BUT, we read in Dan 3:24-25 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste,
and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. Dan 3:25 He answered and said, Lo,
I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. God had not forsook them and was in the fire with them as their shield against harm.
When you come against things you can’t explain and with fear, you can trust our Father that gave us His Son Jesus. He always works in us for our good (Rom 8:28), will never leave nor forsake us, and loves us at all times.
Eboni, we are being worked on and in to become conformed into the very image of Christ (Rom_8:29), and as such He works in us to will and to do of His good pleasure (Php_2:13) and He isn’t done with us yet.
1Pet 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
1Pet 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
1Pet 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
