Sometimes we don't get the answer to prayers, or things in life the way we expect them. Actually, for me that's most of the time. So this week when I had a situation arise that was very disappointing, especially because I knew that God-the Great Almighty could have changed the outcome, I didn't understand why He didn't.
I'm not going to admit to understanding now. I won't even say that things changed, because the situation is exactly the same. But I guess it's kind of like a puzzle I had a HUGE part of it done, but some of the pieces weren't fitting perfectly. After taking them out rearranging them, wha la.
Today, God took some pieces out and rearranged them. I had a perspective-and while it wasn't that far off, it wasn't a "perfect" fit. God directed someone into my life today that could turn the pieces just a little bit. With that change I was able to understand a little better what I was really looking at. While, the outcome isn't different and the disappointment is still there, I feel better.

A lot of things in life don't make sense. I hope that you can have some peace about whatever God's answer is.
Amazing isn't it, when just a slight shift of the angle of the view...the perspective is so different.
Reminds me of a show that my boys watch on Discovery Channel: Time Warp. They video an action then show it in various speeds and different angles. It's wild how different the actual situation looks!
I'm so glad you have a new view! :)
perspective helps a lot. I'm beginning to think there's just a lot of junk in a really fallen world too and so I try not to blame God for that part as much. Not sure on my theology but it seems to help me.
