WHY GOD?

 

We all have known of good outstanding Godly

people who have died prematurely.  Then we 

wonder why it was them instead of some good

for nothing person.

My own son was living in another state when

he was killed in an auto accident.  He was just

into the prime of life.  Why God?

It was not until I went up to his funeral that I 

had any concept of his influence on his community.

People constantly where showing me what he had

been doing round the Church.  The Sunday school

class he taught.  The help he had been to them in 

their homes etc. etc.  In fact, his neighbors wanted

to change the name of their street in honor of him.

[It did not work out that way.]

Why Lord?

Then the Lord showed me why.

"Good people pass away;

the godly often die

before their time.

But no one seems to care or

wonder why.

No one seems to understand

that God is protecting them

from the evil to come.

For those who follow godly paths

will rest in peace when they die.

(Isaiah 57:1,2 NLT)
