Bailing on God

A lot of folks end up bailing on God. They start out on fire for Him. Loving Him. Following Him. But then they turn their backs on Him. Why? Because He didn't perform according to their expectations. They have put God in a box and He must perform according to what they think, what they expect. But God is God. He does what He will. He knows best! Yes, trusting Him is a difficult thing. Especially when we don't understand. Suffering and trials are a part of life - both for the believer and the non-believer. In a way it's more difficult for the believer because we expect God to deliver us from the trial. And sometimes He does. But sometimes (often) He just promises to be with us through the trail. And when suffering causes us to 'let go' of God, Satan has won. He gets us to turn our backs on God and go back to the world (the wilderness). God will use the sufferings and trails in life for our good and His glory - IF we continue on in faith. IF we keep believing, keep trusting, keep hoping, keep praying. Not easy. But doable. So please don't bail on God. He really does know what He's doing!
