Why Would God Take Away My.......

Looking around today we see so much economic, spititual, even health failure. So often we ask..."Why God, would You do this?"

God is sovereign and knows the reasons that everything happens. We do not. We trust in His choice. But....still we might ask..."Why?"

Why God do You take away my health?
Why God do You take away my job?
Why God do You take away my home?
Why God do You take away my car?....etc....

There are many reasons that things happen...Perhaps the loss falls into this catagory.......I must ask myself....

How did I use my health to honor God and advance His kingdom? Perhaps I didn't.
How did I use my job to honor God and advance His kingdom? Perhaps I didn't.
How did I use my home to honor God and advance His kingdom?Perhaps I didn't.
How did I use my car to honor God and advance His kingdom? Perhaps I didn't.
How did I use my "xyz' to honor God and advance His kingdom?Perhaps I didn't.


Perhaps God has a 'use it or lose it' attitude.

If God 'takes away' something - are we always being punished? What about...

How will the loss of my health bring someone else closer to God - to saving faith?
How will the loss of my home bring someone else closer to God-to saving faith?
How will the loss of my car bring someone else closer to God-to saving faith?
How will the loss of my car bring someone else closer to God-to saving faith?
How will the loss of my 'xyz' bring someone closer to God - to saving faith?

Just something to think about. God knows all the why's.....we don't have to know His plan....
