Psalm 34:16 – 19 (LSB)
“The face of Yahweh is against evildoers, To cut off the memory of them from the earth. 17 The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears And delivers them out of all their troubles. 18 Yahweh is near to the brokenhearted And saves those who are crushed in spirit. 19 Many are the evils against the righteous, But Yahweh delivers him out of them all.”
Kris Kristofferson wrote the song “Why Me, Lord?” Surprising to some, his song “Why Me” (also known as “Why Me, Lord”) was a humble and introspective treatment of a gospel subject. Kristofferson was inspired to write the song after attending a worship service at Evangel Temple, a Nashville church frequented by many of country music’s top stars.
Many times we ask the Lord why things happen in our lives. I know I have on several occasions and in some of those cases I never received an answer. We do it when we get a bad medical report, when we lose a child, when bad things happen to us.
We plan our days, weeks, months out I advance on many occasions and then something comes along and changes or alters the plan and we ask “Why?” Our minds wander to all kinds of thoughts as to the “Why” of a change or a roadblock coming up. Know God knows what is best for us.
“God is in control, and therefore in everything I can give thanks – not because oft eh situation but because the One who directs and rules over it.” Kay Arthur.
