It makes many of us wonder why. Especially at this time.
It's not clear why.
Why did a little bug cause such havoc in a world progressing beyond our wildest dreams, why did so many lose their lives.
Why there are so many jobless. Why has this impacted some families but not others? Some of them were forced to live under terrible circumstances.
All by this little virus unseen moving and establishing it's self.
How to find answers here.
How do we cope with all that has happened to us?
All this seems rather useless and completely out of control.
Why this is a common question in the book of Job which I am reading.
Job is constantly asking why the Lord allowed all the things that happened to him to happen. He lost his livelihood, his family and his health.
Things I have learnt so far in Job.
We are meant to ask why God can handle our deepest darkest questions.
The world is not fair, therefore we are meant to cry with those who have lost jobs, loved ones. And not offer easy pletatues
We are also to seek God, not because he will give us a neat answer, but because he is the beginning and end of all wisdom.
I need to, all of us need to express to God our deep sadness in this worlds failing to be as it should.
Through our tears we will find God's solution, Jesus. He was stripped, beaten and faced all of his father's anger. Why, well to make the promise of the Kingdom of God real now.
He was rejected felt hunger and was made to suffer for the father's kingdom.
