When life caves in, you do not need reasons, you need comfort. you do not need answers; you need someone. And Jesus does not come to us with an explanation; he comes to us with his presence We are always seeking the reason. We wont to know why. Like Job, we finally want God to tell us what is going on…But God does not reveal, he reveals himself. He comes to us as warmth when we are cold, fellowship when we are alone, strength when we are week, peace when we are troubled, courage when we are afraid, songs when we are sad, and bread when we are hungry. He is with us on our journeys, he is there when we are home. He sits with us at our table. He knows about funerals and weddings and commencements and hospitals and jails and unemployment and labor and lauhghter and rest and tears. He knows because he is with us. He comes to us again and again…Psalm 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
[Bob Benson

Oh so true! And Psalm 27 is my favorite. Very uplifting post. We do always ask “why” though, don’t we – even after years of seeing the Lord answer our prayers so faithfully? Where would we be without Him? I know I would be in a rubber rooms with one of those funny jackets that make you hug yourself, heavily medicated, and drooling all over myself! Thank You, Jesus, that You chose me, and will NEVER leave me! bburke
