Perplexi-TEAs of Life

There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves,
(Luke 21:25, NASB)

Dismay among nations. Dismay everywhere. The words of Luke 21:25 sound like our nightly news segments. Such dismay can have one asking, “Why do bad things happen to good people?”
Such events could trouble one’s soul. But God, in His Word has shown that He was---He is---and evermore He shall be.

"He is God and there is none like Him declaring the end from the beginning
and from ancient times things not yet done." (Isaiah 46:9)
Nothing takes Him by surprise. He is not perplexed. I find comfort in that truth when I have questions that "seem" to have no reasonable answer.

“In all my perplexities and distresses, the Bible has never failed to give me light and strength.” (Robert E. Lee)


I don’t know the answer but….I know the One who is the answer.    
Such knowledge makes a cuppa perplexi-TEA a lot easier to swallow.
