Bakhya Ibn Pakuda

"Though he kill me, yet will I trust in him."-Job
There are so many examples of this throughout the bible. The idea that God gives and takes away. In the end his plan is so much bigger than ours and we don't know why things happen but he does, so we trust in him. Some of my favorite lyrics from Relient K, "you say i know that this will hurt, but if I don't break your heart than things will just get worse. If the burrden seems to much to bear remember the end will justify the pain it took to get us there." Sometimes things happen that are unexplainable, people die, relationships end, and familys breakup, but the lord gives and takes away. This is so much harder said than done. As soon as something bad happens we think why me, and we are so quick to blame it on someone else or God. Its encredibly difficult to be able to come to a peace with it and just say the lord gives and takes away.
