CHILD-FRIENDLY WHY!

Isaiah 45:11 ICB

The Lord is the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker. He says this: "You ask me about what will happen. You question me about my children. You give me orders about what I have made.

 

How many times do we say the word “why” every day? Why this? Why that? Why me? Sometimes we ask “why” so much that we don’t even notice it. If we counted all our “whys,” we would see how often we want to understand everything and stay in control.

We also ask God many “whys.” Why did this happen? Why didn’t You stop it? Why must I do this? Why me? But when we question God from a place of doubt, it shows that we are struggling to trust Him. Romans 8:28 says God works all things for our good, but we don’t always believe it. Instead of trusting His plan, we question His timing and His decisions.

Instead of asking “why,” we should learn to say, “Lord, I trust You.”

God does not have to explain everything to us. If He wants us to understand something, He will show us. We do not need to know everything because we cannot know everything. 1 Corinthians 13:9 says our knowledge is incomplete. God sees the whole picture, but we only see a small part.

So, our job is simple: trust God.

Life can feel unfair. Things happen that we don’t like or don’t understand. But asking “why” repeatedly does not help us grow. The Bible teaches us not to question God in a rebellious way. He is the Potter, and we are the clay. He knows what He is doing, even when we don’t.

Instead of blaming God for everything, we should look at our own choices. Why is the world full of sin? Why do people ignore God’s ways? Why do we call wrong things right? Before we question God, we should ask ourselves these questions.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
