Psalm 73:28a– “But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge;”
When my father suffered terribly in his last hours of life, I was angry with God.
“Why, God, are you letting him hurt so?” I cried out.
It distressed me to see him in pain. My dad loved God and lived a good Christian life. I had been so sure that he would just “slip away” into eternity, but this was nothing like I had envisioned.
Now, without my earthly father to comfort me, I followed what I’d been taught in church. I sought comfort in God’s Heavenly arms. I drank in scriptural truths from the Bible, I expressed my feelings in prayer, and I sought solace in the presence of my “church” family and my siblings.
Fast forward two years. We recently lost our twin great-granddaughters. I could chose anger, but I have learned that God’s ultimate plan for these two little angels will be better than anything I can imagine.
If you’re going through a hard time right now, let me urge you to run to God, not away from Him. Let Him bring you comfort and peace to overcome your sadness.
Let your faith sustain you!!
