this is some version of what my favorite daughter asked the other day. she's been sick now for about a month. the first time she was sick with bronchitis, sinus infection & pleurisy. that took a coupla visits to the doc and a few tests. the nite the tests came back "lungs clear," she began to run a fever followed on the heals by other symptoms. even her doc was discouraged and surprised at that. today is day 9 of that fever et al.....many serious tests and a coupla ER visits later and the diagnosis please? you have a virus.
the answer to my daughter was something profound like: God knows, we don't, we'll trust Him.
isn't that what it boils down to, really? i've been a believer since i was 10 years old - thanks be to God - and now i'm 52. haven't come up with much different in lo these many years.
job (i love this man of God) said this: "shall we accept good from God and not trouble?" (job 2:10) and also this: "tho He slay me, yet will i hope in Him." (job 13:15). amen.
