Through Thick and Thin

We all have those moments when we scream out about how unfair God can be, and it always seems to boil down to the question "why do bad things happen to good people?". Recently I saw my worship minister and his wife go through losing their baby, these two people are so incredibly godly and are some of the nicest people I have ever encountered. Their relationship and marriage is something to be admired because of their continual focus on God in and through their relationship. When I first heard about this, I was so angry at God, how could He allow this, how could He do this to such loyal followers of Him? Go does not expect us to understand his ways, He even tells us that through scripture but this? How could any good come from this?

But how this couple reacted to this was incredibly and completely noteworthy. They acknowledged that although they did not understand why this happened, they would continue to praise the Lord their God, this my friends is faith, faith at its highest. Although they do not understand, they continue to follow and obey through thick and thin. My worship minister would return to church that very Sunday and would tell the whole congregation of how glorious and wonderful his God is, that He is good and is always good. It inspirational friends. Psalm 103 especially had an impact upon them. I seen pure and true faith in these people, and it is utterly inspiring. To continue to believe that God is good even in this situation is incredible. Having faith that God is in control even in the tough times, it is what we should be aiming to be like.
