We often have this false sense of entitlement to know the who, what, when, where & whys as it relates to our life experiences. Our insatiable hunger keeps people like Sylvia Browne sitting on her "throne", preying on & profiting from the tragedy of others. Sadly, some are willing to give tens of thousands of dollars in seeking answers to those questions in life that were not meant to be revealed, this side of eternity. A personal case-in-point: The man responsible for my coming to know Jesus Christ as Lord & Saviour has been my pastor & good friend for 35 years. He & his precious wife's eldest son was 19 yrs old when he seemingly "vanished off the face of the earth". After exhausting every avenue humanly possible, the many city, state & federal authorities have all but closed his file with the exception of keeping the son's name in the NCIC database. These parents have lived this nightmare for almost 20 years now. I've often wondered how this precious mother could place her head on her pillow each night not knowing whether her son was alive or dead. She told me a few years ago that she has to believe that God in His wisdom is protecting them from truth. That knowing the details of their son's demise would be more difficult for the family than not knowing. God's grace IS sufficient for His children. He gives us the sufficient measure of grace at the exact time we need it as we place our faith & trust in Him. I have personally experienced this "amazing" grace many times during my Christian walk and can attest to the truth that God's grace is sufficient as I yield my circumstances to His Will. The price has already been paid for this grace, so...put your faith & trust in GOD, not in grouchy sooth sayers!
