In the realm of the spiritual

Having faith that all will be well is very difficult at times. I always believed that I totally trusted God with everything and for the most part I know I did and still do. This thing that has come into our lives can really shake your faith up and  make you just run away.Kind of like Jonah an the whale. I mean he ran cause he didn't want the people of Ninevah to know the Lord. He felt as though they had done some pretty evil things and  they deserved  whatever God was going to do.  God had told Jonah go tell them if they don't turn from their evil ways I will destroy the city. Well Jonah ran ,jumped on a boat, and try to run from God.
Its really silly that he tried to do that,but don't we  do that very thing.
  When we just think that I will run my own life or I will do whatever  I want in this life, thats pretty much running from Him.
Trust  and   faith go together.I believe so therefore I trust God with every thing in my life.  Do we? Okay Lord here is my money but I want to spend it on my own desires, I want what I want.
 He  gave it to you and believe me ,He can take it away. 
 When you think about how Jonah finally came to his senses, he thought as he was sitting in the whale, I guess  I should do what God told me to do. He did and the result was great, the people  repented and  they land was saved.  He later was mad that they had repented.    He didn't think they deserved to be saved from the wrath.But who are we that we determine our lives or others. We  think we are in control of our destiny, that if we make the money and take care of our bodies, we will be fine. If you are a believer in Jesus Christ then you don't belong to yourself anymore.
You were bought  with a price an that price was the spilling of Jesus Christ blood. We can do those things ,take care of our lives ,but He is ultimately in control. I thought I was doing the things that I was supposed to,maybe I wasn't.I know now that He has been in control.Sure I made wrong decisions but it comes to a point where its time to heed God.I'am not saying God  put this disease on me, but I believe He is allowing it for the greater good.For me and maybe for someone else.All I know is I want to live for Him and do all He wants me to do.He deserves my best, cause He Jesus gave me His....with His life.Oh how He loves us so much. Hear the voice of God today an listen to what He is telling you for your life.
