Where Is God When Everything Goes Wrong?
Contributed by Bo Dunford on Dec 19, 2002 (message contributor)
Summary: Sometimes we wonder where God is when everything is going wrong in our lives. But God never leaves us or forsakes us!
B) Where is God when everything goes wrong?
* He’s on the throne, watching over His own!
* When everything goes wrong, He will work it out for His glory and for your good!
C) Where is God when we hurt? Where is He when sleep wont come?
* Where is He when we wake in a hospital bed with pain that wont stop?
* Let me tell you ... He’s right here! * v.2 ... v.3 ... v.21 ... v.23 ... “The Lord was with him.”
D) When you hurt, God hurts with you!
* When no one listens to you, God listens to you!
* When you wipe away tears of loneliness, or frustration, or anguish ... In heaven there’s a pierced
hand approaching a heavenly face wiping a tear!
* Sometimes storms of life come to teach us that God is in control, and that we must lean on Him
and learn to be thankful for the richness of His blessings to us!
E) We should serve God even if there is darkness surrounding our life!
* We should serve God even if we don’t understand what’s happening!
* We should serve God even when the circumstances of our life don’t make sense!
* Because He is worthy of praise ... because He is God!
F) One more thing ... Nothing is louder than the silence of our God and Father!
* All I can say is ... We cannot interpret His silence as a lack of love!
* Where is God when everything goes wrong? * HE’S RIGHT HERE WITH US!
* “But the Lord was with Joseph, and showed him mercy.”
