trustworthy

wow, what a week.

tuesday, a girl at ms. mac’s died in a car crash… she was 3 years old.

and i’m trying, stupidly, to figure out how God is being glorified in this.

i’m thinking, does the intense grief that her parents (not to mention everyone else who loved her) are feeling glorify the Lord?

or is it the fact that her short life was over before it barely began?

and i know that everything that happens to us is worked out for the best for us, and that hopefully this brings her parents to brokenness and dependence on the Lord, since that is our goal in life anyway.

but selfishly i’m thinking, can’t things (at least sometimes) be good for us in the way that we think of good? because in my human mind, good is that little girl alive.  i don’t get to decide what’s good, but i am so wishing that sometimes life was easy. and that no mommy or daddy ever had to bury their three year old daughter.

i’ve said it before, that one of the words to describe God that comforts me the most is “trustworthy.”

i just have to keep reminding myself of that… He’s trustworthy. Trustworthy with our lives, and with the world, and how He works in every circumstance. And I am so thankful that He is.
