We do have many questions....but we can also take our questions to God because He already knows and sees the big picture. He also gives us plenty of scriptural prophecies/wisdom/readings/stories for getting through tough times like this and even warns us of the end times.
Or the everyday questions: When will God provide me strength, heal my body, my diseases, give me wisdom, help me find a job, a spouse, raise my kids, buy a new car, etc.
Recently, my brother and I rode horses into a HUGE cave. It took almost a minute and a half to reach to where we had to dismount and explore the rest on foot. I have never ridden in a cave that long and thought it was a pretty neat experience. However, without a light, I would have been terrified as to what might be in the cave or perhaps something to trip us up, Without a light, I can not see how big the cave is or what was in it I needed to avoid. I was thankful for my flashlight. We hiked clear to the end and turned our lights off. It was dark. But then my eyes adjusted to a light not the cave opening but a glimmer of light bouncing off a rock that the opening could reach. Amazing what a little light can do in the dark. Was this enough light to see much? Absolutely not it was just a point to try to get to since I could tell light must be that way. It was so tiny so again we HAD to turn our flashlights back on especially since there was a part in the cave where the ceiling fell in making the footing quite tricky in places as it required some climbing!
Without the Bible and praying to God, we have no light in this dark world either. We would be stumbling around in the dark getting more hurt and more lost. However, when we turn to God and look to His Word for directions, we can all the sudden see the beauty even in the dark. My brother and I could see some very pretty crystal rocks and even an orange and black spotted salemander in another cave etc. We can also have peace and comfort in our dark world knowing that God is walking with us in this dark and evil world. And the fact that my brother and I had each other made the exploring even more fun and possibly made us more confident in the dark. So remember your brothers and sisters in Christ can help encourage you through the darkness as well. We walk this dark world with Jesus and He is enough, but then He allows us to walk through this world with His other children too and this should inspire us to walk confidently through this dark and evil world. And never forget that a little light goes a long way! Point others to Jesus today!
This last picture is of the cave crystals we found in HUGE cave. Not sure I have any pics of the huge cave otherwise. lol! too dark!
