Suffering- Sorrow- Affliction; Do we need to even define those words?
The words just somehow speak for themselves. They are words filled with sadness and hurt. A friend recently described to me her sorrows as the inability to breathe. Although there was air all around her, she felt like she was suffocating. Another described it as being in a glass, watching everyone live their life as normal, but not knowing if they could survive tomorrow because theirs had forever changed.
I am reminded of the verse in Ecclesiastes 3:11
“11 and I know God has made everything beautiful for its time. God has also placed in our minds a sense of eternity; we look back on the past and ponder over the future, yet we cannot understand the doings of God……
No matter how much we try to understand the ways of God, there are some things we will never understand. However, he promises one day that he will wipe every tear from our eye. The Desert song by Hillsong is such a great song it talks of praise for God even when we are in the desert
"All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship"
May we always remember that God is still on the throne so we will always have a reason to sing!
