You would think after 36 years I would have accrued some wisdom about life. I have lost loved ones, experienced job losses, and have constant fears about the future. All the while, lifting my hands to the Father and declaring my love and trust of Him. He has certainly carried me through all of the above circumstances so why do I continually find myself asking for the "why" and "how". Today, I try to shed a little wisdom on why a 9 year old girl must be buried before she becomes a wife, a mother, a grandmother. I wonder how it is possible for an intelligent, politically- minded woman to ever get over the physical and mental trauma she has experienced. God never promised us that life would be easy. As He shooed his two most precious creations out of the garden, I am sure He wondered if they would be wise enough to survive what was ahead of them. Thus, the need for a true Savior...the one who has all the answers, the one who gets his wisdom from The Most Wise. For the past few days, I have been reading Beth Moor's "So Long, Insecurity" and came upon a brilliant revelation straight from Mrs. Moor's wise writings. She tells of the danger of knowing too much information in our lives. That maybe there are things that only God should know and can handle with His infinite wisdom. After all, this was His first command to Adam and Eve..."Don't eat from that tree of knowledge. It is not for you!" To sum up my grief and sorrow these last few days, maybe it is not for me to understand or to make heads and tails of such tragedies. Maybe the wisdom is not in the why but the Who.
May God bless and heal those hurting this week...not only in Arizona but on all of God's great earth.
