Have you ever said to God that you knew what you were
doing ….
Yes, recently I did it. When the news about the acid
attack appeared in the newspaper …I browsed through all articles regarding it and
read about many attacks and thus made my heart grieve. God said me that enough
! you need not read more…the more you read the more you will get depressed and
lose the interest with which I have beautified the world . I told Him…no ! its nice to improve
my G.K and these would benefit me to learn more about other people’s grief…Hmmmm
He said me and allowed me to continue ….again I came across the Delhi rape case
and was curious to know how could such thing happen in a bus …din’t the driver
or conductor stop it. He again told me ‘jesse enough’….I told Him I knew what I
was doing ………..result …..’Lord why is the world so ugly, why are the people so
bad, these men do they have no fear of u….and so my heart felt uneasy and was
disturbed….you know what he replied …
1 Kings 19:10 After fearing that
he would be killed, he speaks to God “I have been absolutely loyal to the LORD, the
sovereign God, even though the Israelites have abandoned the agreement they
made with you, torn down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword.
I alone am left and now they want to take my life.”
:18 You know what God
answered him….. I still have left in Israel seven thousand followers
who have not bowed their knees to Baal or kissed the images of him.”…so its very easy to judge the wicked world..and then enter into
an emotional breakdown….Lord everything is vanity..like King Solomon…….
God doesn’t want us to live in constant
fear, He doesn’t want us to sit inside our homes securely ..even there
practically speaking there’s no safety…except for the protecting Shield that
covers us…the fence that’s around God’s people as we read in Job. So, I regret
for not listening to God …as the past two days neither was I able to remain at
peace nor enjoy His presence fully…Now this doesn’t mean we need to stay aloof
from the problems out in the world..No!No…not so ….we should have a right
attitude while coming across such news reports. Pray for the victims….pray for
our relatives and friends who could be vulnerable and yes ..thank God for His
Grace that He has protected us thus far……….
