Read Luke 10-12
Luke 11:12 says, "Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?" It certainly seems like God gives us scorpions when we ask for eggs. We lose our house because God wants to move us elsewhere. We lose our jobs because God’s plan is for us to be working at a better place—eventually. We get sick so we can be a witness to a whole different group of people.
We have sorrow and pain on our way to being what God want us to be. Surely there’s a better way!
When we’re going through our worst times it’s hard to keep in mind that God is still in control. We want His will for our lives, but it would be nice if it didn’t involve suffering. All we can do is keep trusting the Lord and remember all the times He brought us through. We’ll get through this, too.
