In the past few days the buzz in the "christian blogosphere" centers around the disasters created by the devastating tornadoes in Oklahoma. Human attempts at finding the heart of our Abba in the midst of much suffering and loss. I cannot wrap my finite mind around such tragedies. I speak from a heart that knows there are times when heaven seems silent. Silence for the answer to my "Why?" Silence for the cry of my heart. I write from a heart of living through losing my home not once but twice. I write from the silent cry of a barren woman's heart. I write from the anguish of grief when a child dies. I write from loss of family members who live but who are dead in their sin and have made decisions that have left them completely, physically unable to make any other decisions for the rest of their lives. "WHY?!" I cry! "Why?"
Life is full of "WHY'S?
Great tragedy is all around me. It is all around YOU. Truth be told, we pay little attention until it affects us personally or we see it brought to life through our media. Media we turn off - when it becomes too overwhelming. We compartmentalize our lives. We won't think about that today. But tragedy happens everyday, everywhere all the time. Tragedy of killing that shouldn't be. Tragic loss of young who had so much to live. Suffering and loss without regard to cost. These not even including natural disasters such as the present. WHY?!!
He who has all knowledge - KNOWS. He knows the why? We probably will not - this side of heaven. He hears the cries of a mother's heart. He KNOWS of the ache in her arms. He captures every tear in a bottle. He seeks to redeem every tragedy. He desires to conquer every fear. He is the answer. We cannot shut Him off. If you are HIS - He will be heard. He is the ONE WHO KNOWS and He will be HEARD. We must listen. STOP and pray, "Know matter what, even if You kill me, I will trust YOU!" When human knowledge evades me - I will trust you for the WHY! I will TRUST the ONE WHO has all KNOWLEDGE for the why...." (paraphrased from Job)
