Today as I was driving home from school after a long day and not getting much sleep last night (which has been common since we heard the news) I heard something on the radio that really stuck with me. I can't even tell you if I was listening to Power 88 or KLove or who was talking but this is what they said...
Everyone is going through something. Everyone in this world of millions of people is dealing with some circumstance that they don't want to be dealing with. It may be finical, it may be marital issues, the loss of a loved one or just dislike for their job or appearance but everyone is dealing with some circumstance they don't want to be dealing with. BUT here's the thing circumstances change. God doesn't! As humans when things don't go our way or when we are dealing with something we don't want to deal with or something we don't think is fair we turn away from God because how could he let this happen. If He is SO good why does He let bad things happen? We've all thought it right?!? I know I sure have, more than I'd like to admit.
BUT God doesn't change He is still the same powerful and mighty worthy to be praised God that He was when everything was going perfectly in our lives as He is when things aren't going our way. Our circumstances can change and they do. Often! Sometimes in the blink of an eye.
This just really stood out to me today. Ten days ago my circumstances changed. The way I thought life was going to go changed. I went from everything is perfect to how can this be in less than five seconds. Four words turned my life upside down "there is no heartbeat." BUT thank goodness my God doesn't change. He didn't leave me when my circumstances changed He held me and is still holding me while He guides me through this difficult time. I needed this reminder today and just like a rainbow after a storm there was my sign of hope right there on the radio.
Don't turn your back on God when your circumstances change. For God is good all the time and all the time God is good.
