Why God?

Posted on by asherdc89

I once heard a story about an ant hill. The ant hill was just kicked over. Killing hundreds or perhaps thousands of ants. And later on in the day, the ant hill came back. The kicking over the ant hill was compared to a natural disaster to the ants, that seem to happened for no apparent reason. But the ants just built another one. The ants have a better understanding why this happened than us. They don’t sit and wollow in their misery. They don’t pity themselves or seek pity from others. And they most certainly don’t ask God why has this happened to us. They just simply continue. Knowing it’s a consequence of sin in this world, and the fact it’s bound to happen.

To then bring into doubt by questioning God’s judgement and divine providence, when it was man who chose sin to be in the world is being proudful. Having a high respect for our choices in regard to freewill, He also has to permit its consequences; and therefore, work things out for our good despite the situation and circumstances which surround it. Irrespective of the issue of sin as well as the issue of sin respectively.

Since 2010, I've experienced promptings, encouragement as well as assistance from the Holy Spirit. The promptings led me to the word of God. This was the start of my own personal journey as I sought after the truth. God was then calling me as I sought after the truth according to His word. The truth was leading me to the decision to give my life to Him. I gave my life to God on the 28th of January 2012. Instantly, I had the desire to share with others the truth of God, that God is a God of love, truth, righteousness, holiness, mercy and justice. I couldn't keep something like this to myself in a lost and dying world, a world in a fallen state, and a world steeped in confusion concerning the view of who God is. My journey wasn't without struggle though, I realised through suffering we come to know God. To not only be humble, but to be empathic and not detached from people who are suffering. Sometime in 2012, God inspired me to become a writer just after my prayer to fulfill my purpose, the purpose of the reason of my existence. My prayer was a reflection of Isaiah 43:1-7. So I started writing essays pertaining to His word. I shared what I wrote with my family and friends. Therefore, the aspiration to help people globally, came with the realisation to give God the honour and the glory. To be part of making a difference. The inspiration to start blogging was impressed upon me to do. Through prayerful guidence, I believe God has led me to this point, which I believe is for His glory.
