because I said so.....

I am sure we have all heard that phrase a time or two! I heard it from my parents on occasion when I would question why they wanted me to do something. I am not yet a parent, but I know how frustrating it can be to ask a kid to do something and in return hear "why do I have to?". Sometimes we just want them to do what we ask without asking questions. There are many things in the Bible God tells us we should do ---often, I catch myself asking why. The Bible tells us in Hebrews 11:1 that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. In order for us to have true faith, sometimes we must let go of our questions and trust God's plan.




Do you find yourself asking God why? If so, have faith that what He wants for us is what is best.



Let's obey Him and His guidance for our lives and do what He wants.



For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:11
