Beyond Our Understanding

Beyond Our

Understanding

Are there things

that you can’t understand?

We see suffering in the world.

Pain in the lives of our friends.

Struggles in our own families.

Confusion in ourselves.

Why?

So many things are

beyond our understanding.

Can we change

the “Why?” To “But”?

There is suffering…

But God is with us in it.

There is pain…

But God cries with us.

There are struggles…

But God fights for us.

There is confusion…

But we are not alone in it.

Focus today

on that little word

but. . .

Even if you

can’t understand why.

***

Susan Phillips

Faith is in that

coordinating conjunction

“but.”

***

Psalm 13:5

But I trusted

in your steadfast love.
