It's A Lie!

God will always give what is right to his people who cry to him night and day, and he will not be slow to answer them.

Luke 18:7

 

Believe it or not, we've been lied to!  Somewhere along the line, someone tried to convince us that if we do what is right then we won't suffer.  Whoever that was LIED to us!!  We can expect to suffer when we do wrong, but when we do right?  Sadly, the truth of the matter is that we live in a world full of folks who are just like us and a prone to mistakes, errors, and even prejudices.  Life is NOT fair.  And anyone who told you that being a believer would cause your life to be one of ease and comfort has done you a great disservice! 

 

Honestly, I don't like suffering for doing something wrong, but I realize that it will happen.  But I REALLY don't like having to suffer for doing something right!  That's just not fair!  So what to do about it?  Today's verse is very clear, take it to God.  Not just once.  Not just twice.  Keep taking it to Him!  

 

"But God doesn't seem to answer."  I have said that before too.  But I can assure you that God does answer!  God's timing is ALWAYS impeccable and perfect!  When we have a burden, our first response should not be to complain about it, rather we should take it to the One who can handle the burden and bless us in the process.
