Romans 9:20 (NKJV) 20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?”
Sometimes we all need a little wake-up call… a dose of reality.
As we go through life, we can tend to get caught up in our daily stuff and sometimes we can get a bit haughty or develop an attitude when things don’t go the way we think they should go.
Sometimes we can even get mad at God because we think we know better than Him. We might not come right out and say that, but our words and our attitude will give it away.
It happens to almost everybody once in a while. Maybe we go through a tough time or we want certain changes to take place in our lives, so we tell God how we want it to be. And if it doesn’t go exactly the way we want it to, we can get huffy or angry about it.
Many times we get vocal and express how we feel, and we talk about how we think things should happen, as if we’re wiser than God.
But the verse above tells us clearly what God’s response is when people question His wisdom or His ways.
No, it’s not wrong to ask God why certain things happen. And it’s not wrong to want to understand some of life’s oddities. But we should never cross the line and question God’s ways or His decisions in our lives. And we shouldn’t be upset if we don’t get the answer we’re looking for when we do question Him.
It all comes down to trusting God no matter what comes our way or happens in our lives. It’s not always easy, but it’s what God asks of us.
