Quiet Time - Suffering With A Reason?
Sometimes, out of the blue, things around us crumple for no good reason. I mean, real bad. It can happen in your work where troubles spur. It can be a relationship. And you suddenly wonder what's this all about? Are you being played?
Well, that's exactly what happened to the Israelite! I guess the straws provide the tensile strength to the brick made from mud but the labor to both collect them and make bricks out of it. You get the idea - falsely accused yet unappreciated.
In a way, you can say this is how the Lord God showcase His sovereignty. You won't have a clue what they are at that instance but we are simply asked to put our trust in Him faithfully and walk the talk.
