Bible Bytes 'n Chocolate Chews
A Daily Delight of God's Word and a mini-devotional to start your day!
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...wherever in the world you live! I hear you're a chocoholic too - I won't tell a soul! Chocolate is good for the body - and God's Word is good for the soul: "O taste and see that the Lord is good...(Psalm 34:8 KJV)." So please join me for a few moments of fun, food and inspiration - it's all calorie-free (believe that and I'll sell you the Brooklyn Bridge) and might even make your day!
Bible Byte 'n Chocolate Chew for Today: "Tragedy, Faith and Unanswerable Questions!"
NOTE: You may need to access this search page to access the Scripture reading below. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Daily Manna's Bible reading - Isaiah 61:1-3 (NIV) . . . Visit Bible Gateway every day!
Life is precious and when it is lost, we mourn. Our love, our sympathy and our prayers go out to the survivors and families of all tragedies - natural disaster, accidents, health issues, unspeakable crimes and whatever other crisis you may be facing this day.Tragedy happens....faith "IS".....and how in the world, as we watch bad things happen, do we reconcile the two seemingly contradictory facts? Turn to today's Bible verses above and know, without a doubt, that Someone else watches, knows - and mourns with us. God Himself.
God sent Jesus, His Son, to our messed-up world on a mission - He was anointed to "preach good news to the poor...bind up the brokenhearted....comfort all who mourn, and provide...a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning...." (See above NIV Scriptures.)
Why? Because a Sovereign Lord already knew what was ahead for mankind - sin, suffering, loss, despair, destruction, and yes, tornados and terrible accidents. In His love, He sent Jesus to bring comfort, healing and hope - our faith is founded in the ever-trustworthiness of our God, even when we do not understand.
Unanswerable questions? You better believe it. It's LIFE - but we live it by FAITH in the SON OF GOD who "loved us and gave Himself for us." He grieves WITH us today in our grief and unbearable sorrows....may He comfort us all.
PRAYER: "Lord, there are questions in life for which we have no answers. We cry to You from our grief-stricken hearts...may Your comfort and love surround those who personally suffer and grieve this day. May their faith in You rise above the tragedies to know You are with them and will carry them through. Thank You for the hope of eternal life - we place our heavy hearts and our too-many-questions in Your Sovereign hands, in Jesus' Name, Amen."
