I have always and will always believe in the kind of Father we have in Him. Compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in love. But how do we respond when the things that we know precious to us, the blessing we know came from Him, the prayers that have been answered have been allowed to be taken from us?

I say allow as I cannot credit lost to Him when I know that good things are from Him. Job, when lost all he has, pointed that God has taken it from Him but learning from intro of the book it was Satan who only dared to test Job from it.

Some things He allows like using people to build up another as in the case of hardening Pharaoh's heart but it was to fulfill His great plan for the Insraelites. Without this story, Israelites would easily go from Egypt to Promised Land. There's some good in struggles.

All things come from Him. If something good has been required of me it us because He knows why. He knows even the when and how.

When in doubt and I can't understand His doings I always settle and make peace with this truth: God is sovereign. His vision is unfathomable. His gaze is infinite. Mine is all things opposite.
