“Come, let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds…that we may live in his presence.” Hosea 6:1-2b Whenever I turn on the news, open my laptop, or tune in on the radio, I am bombarded with news of world tragedy. True, some of it has been sensationally spun, but many times unfortunately, the stories are factual. Natural disasters sweep the globe and many children die from hunger or violence. Sometimes, even longtime Christians may wonder, “Is God’s plan or is this God’s fault?” However you choose to talk about pain, I pray that you seek the Lord’s guidance. Since we know the end of the story, we can share the wonderful news of God’s ultimate victory with others. We can apply today’s verse in situations where, in our limited minds, it seems as though God has allowed someone to be hurt. We must always let others know that we don’t yet have the full mind of God, so we cannot fully answer or judge as to why things happen.
