What If You Don’t Get Your Miracle?
Ep. 39 In times of struggle, asking WHY will drown you. Finding your WHAT will save you. Today’s topic discusses what happens when life doesn’t go the way we expect, when things don’t turn out the way we want or hope. We’re talking about when stuff happens that just doesn’t make sense, or seems unfair, or is caused by other people’s cruelty or negligence. We’re talking accidents, mistakes, or being beaten by the odds.
In some ways suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning. The most powerful thing that we can access during any challenge is our will to find the meaning in it. ― Victor Frankl
A Hard Topic
The purpose of today’s episode is NOT to tell you, that everything happens for a reason or that God gave you this challenge so you could learn something or because you need to be humbled or it’s to test your faith. This episode is NOT going to say, “Look on the bright side,” or “Be positive,” or “Keep your chin up.”I feel my job today is NOT to give answers or words of comfort (that probably wouldn’t comfort) or to cheer you up or to make you feel better. I feel my job today is only this: to offer PERSPECTIVE.When you’re in the middle of a crisis, you have so many questions, decisions, emotions, and unknowns that it can be almost impossible to find any perspective, so I hope I can offer a little today.

* Why do some kids get sick and others don’t? * Why do some fathers die?* Why are some people inspired to to take a different road and thus avoid a car accident? * Why does it seem that some people are miraculously spared while other are not? * Does God pick and choose who stays and who goes? * Why Me? Why Us? * Why did God make this happen or allow this to happen?* Why didn’t God intervene and perform a miracle for me? * Why didn’t God prompt me to act sooner or act in a different way? * What did I do wrong to deserve this? Why is God punishing me?
God Did Not Make This Happen
After his wife died from brain cancer eight months after diagnosis, Michael Wilcox questioned if God appointed her to die. He concluded that God created the earth, granted us life and set the wheels in motion then for the most part lets things play out. Life appoints. Mortality appoints. Life happens. Time happens. Occasionally the Lord intervenes, delays, prolongs, but mostly He allows life to happen. Michael Wilcox said,
