Great Purpose In the Unexplainable

We’ve all heard the quote, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” Often it’s said to try and understand why God would allow certain things to happen. We don’t understand nor can we see the whole purpose and outcome from our limited point of view.

Some answers are going to have to wait until we meet Jesus face to face. I use to think that the first question I would ask Jesus when I meet Him would be, “Why?” But over the years I’ve come to understand that the answer to my why doesn’t really matter in the bigger plan God has for me.

Over time I have seen great purpose in the unexplainable and I truly believe that God doesn’t waste anything. There have been too many beautiful things come from the ashes to deny that God is still actively working out His good and perfect will.

Martha thought she had the answer to her loss when she told Jesus that if He had been there, her brother would not have died. But Jesus knew differently and in time Martha was a witness to a miracle that would bring many to the saving grace that Jesus offerred, all because her brother died.

There are going to be things that we cannot explain let alone understand. But that’s exactly when we need to hold tight to Christ and trust that His will and purpose are far greater than our own.

Be Intentional about trusting God’s purpose when life is unexplainable.
