Real Life Questions

Today was a little rough - my Mom fell AGAIN - which she has done a few times lately. She hasn't gotten hurt seriously in the falls , physically- some bruises and minor pain. However, I do think her spirit has been wounded - discouragement and frustration seem pretty close to the surface. It's a little weird how all of this with her failing health falls into the justice of God issue for me. My heart breaks to see her struggle and my admiration for her soars as I watch her get back up with determination and push on. I almost immediately want to ask God the why questions, which I am so very glad to know He can handle. I actually take great comfort in the scriptures when I read so many of the giants of the faith questioned God - I actually think their questioning spirits reveal a relationship with God that is open, honest, healthy and REAL! As I wade through the scriptures in search of truth and revelation about the justice of God - I have some real life questions right before me where I can bring application. I'm sure you do too - it seems we all have questions and situations in our lives that force us to trust God's justice and His love and His care for us. So, today I hold onto what I don't always see so plainly or clearly - I guess that would be called faith! Hope you are hanging on too !
