Exodus 4:11 And the Lord said unto him, Who hath made man’s mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the Lord?

If all you want to do is blame God for everything bad in the world, you can stop right here. You need not go any further. If that is all you want.

All I want is to be out of pain. Getting out of pain does not remove the pain. When you are in pain that is all you can see. There is nothing else. The pain blinds you from seeing anything else.

What if I told you that the next thing God said to Moses is the answer to your pain? Would you accept the answer?

God said, “I am with you, we will get thru this together.”

That isn’t what you wanted to hear. You didn’t want to be joined in your pain, you wanted it removed. You cannot see the truth in what God is offering. You would rather suffer the pain and blame God than walk with Him through your pain and discover who God truly is in the midst of all you are suffering.

Earthly pain and suffering is shortsighted, it only sees this moment and has no real concept of the true danger, the ultimate pain, the ultimate suffering, and it screams deal with me now.

God knows you are broken hearted and He wants to heal that broken heart. You will never move beyond your pain and suffering until you allow God to heal your broken heart. It cannot be healed by guilt, judgement, hate or fear. Only God’s great love for you can heal your broken heart. How can you accept it if you cannot see it?

Look past your pain and stop blaming God.

“I will not leave you nor forsake you.” Saith the Lord.

1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

My focal point in this verse is “begotten us again unto a lively hope”. Here is why. When my father said to my mother “I want one more child.” he had a hope for me. He never told me of that hope. He kept it to himself, it was his hope and I do not know if I ever fulfilled that hope he had for me.

Being born again in the spirit, God the Father has a hope for me, and because He has given me His Spirit I know His hope for me. God the Father does not keep that hope unto Himself.

My earthly father’s hope was exercised by free will. My Heavenly Father’s hope is exercised by faith. My earthly father trained me up in those things he thought were necessary to have a life worth living. My Heavenly Father gave me a life worthy of living and then trained me to make the most of it.

My earthly father prepared me for an unknown future. My Heavenly Father prepares me for a future He knows of a certainty that only God Himself can call a blessed assurance.

Galatians 1:15-16 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

My focal point is here, “I conferred not with flesh and blood”. I focus on this because now that we are born again, our natural tendencies are to rely on our earthy father’s hope and training and not to focus on this new life we have been presented with.

My Heavenly Father’s hope is to reveal His Son in me.
