Seeking to Know God's Purpose

As believers, we should not be stopped blaming circumstances and look for scapegoats. We also do not need to question why this, why so. We have to interpret every event, good and bad by finding out what God wants us to do. Why should we waste time to ask why so why so, if we never get a definitive answer. Even if we could concoct an answer, what if the answer can not change things for the better?
As people living hope in the Lord, we must always consider that God allows things to happen to us, so that our lives better. We must believe that good and bad, used by God for our good. Through the difficulties of life, God wants us to form a really strong, tough, has the ability to recovery or even have a high resilience.
There are also those who argue bring everything that makes us scared, anxious and unsettled, including rising fuel prices is the work of the devil. But wait, is not Job who live godly, honest, feared God and eschewed evil still allowed to live in misery suffered so long? If time Job grouchy or angry and question God's attitude which is seen so bear against him, maybe he will die in despair. But with his loyalty, can Ayup recovery and have a very good resilience.
At the end of the story of the new Ayup we realize that God's plan is beautiful in His time. Apparently the Lord restored Job and bless the lives of the next, more than a previous life (Compare Job 1 and 2 with Job 42: 10-17).
Ayup learn from the story, we come to know that through every event, God does not want us to be persuaded by the devil so that our grouchy, angry, desperate and hopeless. As difficult as any circumstances that we hadapai, we still have hope in the Lord. Faithfulness to live in the Lord we should emit in the face of every event, in which we must always ask "What does God desire behind this event?"
By asking questions like that, psychologically we have found 50% solution of each event occurring. The rest we can surrender ourselves and believe that God, too, who will enable us to face every difficulty.
One time, I could hardly accept this fact of life. My profession as sekreatis in an international organization, is young, friendly, kind, helpful and actively serving God and others, suddenly ill with TB. Is the dread disease, disgusting and can turn off it was coming from the devil? Then why is my faithful service of God, can still be "cursed" by the devil? Why does God let the disease that makes me ostracized by the environment, whereas before I liked to serve and love others? Is the power of God less terrible than the power of the devil? If the disease was not from the devil, but of God, whether God I was blind and did not know the good that should be given to His people who have been faithful to serve Him?
I am grateful that deserves time I was not angry or asked as above. If only, I continued late into question the state of me, maybe I am dead of despair. When I tried to ask "What does God desire behind that loathsome disease". It turned out I became increasingly convinced that God is the best mentor in my life. Along the way my life, I just understand the importance of health when God allowed me sick. After restoring my God, I also understand that health is more valuable than the material.
With what a bitter and painful experience when suffering from TB, I was able to empathize and care for TB patients are marginalized and scattered. By feeling ostracized because of how quiet life with TB disease, I became more wise to humanize people with TB. When I leave this world, then God sends his children to help and strengthen me, I am more convinced hakul convinced that love and inclusion of God in my life was never ending.
One time, someone I love so much away to leave me. Pantaskan I questioned God, why did it happen? I it worth asking "Why do people who do not know Christ can live happy, while my faithful follow it, the Lord let live miserably?" Maybe if I incessantly ask why so why so, I too would die of loneliness.
I am grateful for the far-distant days before I left someone I love so much, there are already Ayup who lost seven sons, three daughters, thousands of cattle and possessions. I am well aware that the suffering I have not nothing compared to the suffering Ayup. If God can restore a crushed Ayup, then my heart would be more easily scratched slightly restored by the touch of God's love. I also finally realized that the abandoned lover of life, it makes me feel and enjoy the love of God which transcends all human love. With loneliness and my weakness, God's mighty hand and loving it is very pronounced.
