I Don’t Understand
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11
I was watching a movie today, “The 13th Floor”. It is one of those kinds of movies that you watch from the beginning, but you really don’t understand what’s happening. So all you can do is keep watching, until at some point something clicks, or pieces begin to fall together, and the story starts to make a lot more sense.
I’ve been talking to a lot of people lately about things going on in their life. A lot of them feel like it just doesn’t make sense. How could the things that are happening, or have happened, ever piece together?
I wish I knew the answer to that question. How do we find the good…how do we find God in some of the darkest situations? I was speaking with someone recently, and found myself saying that in my darkest times, I didn’t find God. It wasn’t until after those times that God really started revealing Himself. I guess it takes a little bit of time before the light can begin to be shed on the darkness…before those pieces begin to fall back together.
What are your thoughts? Do I seem way off base? How do you think God is present in the darkest situations?
