My wife woke me the other night at 10:45pm to ask me if I smelled a skunk. I had not smelled a skunk until she woke me; then I smelled a scent so putrid it was nearly impossible to get back to sleep. We enjoy sharing experiences with the people we love but some things are better left unshared.
We might very well feel that way about some of the things God allows into our life: thanks but no thanks! “You woke me up for this?” “You gave me life so I could feel this pain?” “Why did You allow that to happen to me?”
No wonder faith is such a big part of our relationship with God. Many things He does make no sense to us, in fact, they seem counterproductive. Learn to trust Him: I’ll have what He provides; I’ll take what He gives.
