I don't recommend books often, unless you ask, but I would recommend this one. I've been reading through Warren Wiersbe's book on the character of Job; titled "Be Patient." It's a very good book if you love to ask God why; why this happens, why that happens. Job suffered so much, yet when it came to his faith in God, that strong foundation never crumbled. Here's a little bit of truth from the book.
"There is nothing wrong with asking why, as long as we don't get the idea that God owes us an answer. But if the Lord did tell us why things happen as they do, would that ease our pain or heal our broken hearts? Does reading the X-ray take away the pain of a broken leg? We live on promises, not explanations; so we shouldn't spend too much time asking God why."
As September 7th comes around again, and the reality of two years without Gracie down here hits me in the next few days, it's relieving to know that there is a Heaven. It's relieving to know that there is a God who comforts and cares. It's relieving to know I don't have to panic, hurt, or question His decisions; because I know He sees tomorrow; and tomorrow's tomorrow. Anyways, just a "review" of what I'm currently reading through; in case you're interested. God bless..
