 1.16.25-

When something goes wrong in our life we have "friends" who know why it happened. When we have skin cancer they know we should 't have played or worked in the sunshine without a cap or hat.

If our.child or grandchild have mental health issues they know they were not raised right. They are miserable comforters. A famous wise man said. "I would rather speak to God about this"

Often the reason something has happened is no one's fault. It is to allow people to see awesome power and learn the need to cry out to God.

I have been thinking and praying about the tragedy in Los Angeles. In this awesome destruction we see God's love in the helpers.

We are all reminded of what is important. There anchor of hope must be in God who is unshakable. He will open a way where there is no way.

Often for us to pray and serve and contribute and refuse to be full of quick, easy answers is best. Just to sit and cry with them can be just what they need.

Job 13

“Behold, my eye has seen all this,
My ear has heard and understood it.
2 What you know I also know;
I am not inferior to you.

3 “But I would speak to [a]the Almighty,
And I desire to argue with God.
4 But you smear me with lies;
You are all worthless physicians.
5 Oh that you would be completely silent,
And that it would become your wisdom!
6 Please hear my argument,
And give your attention to the contentions of my lips.
7 Will you speak what is unjust for God,
And speak what is deceitful for Him?
8 Will you show partiality for Him?
Will you contend for God?
9 Will it go well when He examines you?
Or will you deceive Him as one deceives a man?
10 He will certainly punish you
If you secretly show partiality.
11 Will His [b]majesty not terrify you,
And the dread of Him fall upon you?
12 Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes,
Your defenses are defenses of clay.
