A lot of people are angry right now because they were told if they pray and do right, life will be easy. You can love God, walk in obedience and pray faithfully and still experience disappointment, loss, suffering and seasons when nothing seems to make sense. We cannot measure God’s goodness by how well things are going in our lives. Nor should we mistake a difficult season for divine abandonment. There will be seasons of abundance and seasons of lack, moments of great joy and moments of grief. None of these seasons should become the sole measure of God’s faithfulness. Perhaps we need to stop presenting Christianity as a guarantee of an easy life and start teaching people what it means to remain faithful through all of life’s seasons. Ride the waves, gracefully. 🤍
