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.
