God cares about us and wants to answer our questions!

God cares for all those folks in Japan who are suffering right now, and the rescue workers who are putting their lives on the line to try to bring order to the chaos. He cares so very deeply... 

I read an article where one lady felt that perhaps God doesn't want us to know what He is up to in our lives, and feels that we should blindly accept difficulties as His will. My answer to her is the following:

First, God cares about the very number of hairs on our head.  He loves us so much that He gave His Son, Jesus Christ, for us even while we were turned totally against Him in our lives. Are we to think that He doesn't want us to understand Him, His ways or walk with Him as a friend would?

Yes, He is sovereign and we are to submit, as believers, to His will and purposes.  But He is a loving God.  He gave us His Son, to allow us through Jesus to be able to enter into His inner chambers, in other words, direct access to the Father.  He gave us His Word/Bible as direction to His will so we wouldn't be left out in the blind. He gave us His Holy Spirit to lead us, to speak to our hearts, to help us know Him.  His Word gives us His known will, and through the growth of our relationship with Him, through the Holy Spirit, we can develop our ears to hear and our hearts to follow.  We aren't to wonder around blindly not understanding Him.

Further, He didn't make us puppets, to not question Him.  He encourages us to question, to seek Him til we find Him... to know Him and be known.  

Yes, we are to trust Him when we don't understand, but it is an opportunity to press in closer to Him to grow in Him and understand Him and His will/purposes.  So when life's boat rocks, it
is not a time to throw up our hands and say "oh well, God is sovereign and I'll just put up with it." No, it is a time to press in to Him, to claim His promises, to receive His abundant life even in the storm, to hear His voice and in all, to trust because we know our God.  He does want our trust, but He also wants to share His heart with us. 

When we don't understand events, He is patiently waiting for us to turn to Him with our cries, our hurts, our concerns and He will answer.   (Psalms 116:1-2, NLT)

He will never leave us nor forsake us.. even in the storms of life.  So press in...
