Tsunami in Japan, Earthquake in Cuba, Volcanic Eruptions and Storms.. oh sorry.. Typhoons in different spots in the world are all circumstances that should happen amongst us. It might not be the most beautiful thing that could happen to the world but come to think of it, it is God’s plan to make the people know that there is God. Through it all, God has been making wonders and miracles for different people, however, people still misunderstand God and always questions Him in their own prayers.
As I was reading my devotionals, I read about this verse:
John 20:9
9 (For they did not yet understand the scripture that Jesus must rise from the dead.)
That part of the bible is where Jesus resurrected from his grave, and when the disciples saw him, they believed, although it is written and said long before Jesus was nailed to the cross. If we are to see that event from a different point of view to the circumstances that are happening to us, we would realize that God has said to us the events and things that would occur in our life, and it will be done because it MUST be done. Imagine if Jesus didnt die on the cross, where will we all be headed? To the pit. It is a one way ticket to hell people. But God anticipated it and knew where we will be headed, and He sacrificed his own Son, Jesus Christ, to release us from that damned ticket, which is sin. That is why Jesus must do what the will of God tells Him, and He obeyed. He was resurrected, just as He said, and it happened. Bottomline, the things that God wants to happen happen. It is because of a reason and always for a reason.
Rejoice for the trials and challenges becuase God develops you to be a lot stronger individual when facing struggles. Change our eyes to see the reason why God permits things to happen to us. Some things are meant to happen, but always for a reason, and a Good Reason.
