The LORD has made everything for its own purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble.
Our days has been full of immorality, there are legions of crime that occur as if they were tolerated by everyone. Massive killings were the focus throughout the media and Philippines is one of the countries that suffer in that kind of dilemma, aside from the extra judicial killings our country is also attacked by the terrorists who reluctantly show mercy with the civilians, greediness invades them, a selfish desire to have more than what they have and with that not only the people they had killed, died but also their families, died in a way that they will no longer feel the warmth of their loved ones. The casualties listed in the place of Marawi is too unbearable, the alteration of a beautiful and peaceful place turned into a devastated city. Many people asked, why are these things happening to us? What did we do for us to experience this kind of pain? What happened in our land, the Philippines? Everything was like in a chaos, tangled events that worsens in the same tangled one, simply, a mess. None of us really do know the fathom of why all of these transpire in our country. What we do know is the agony of the now, the reasons we believed is based on what we feel, based on the emotions given by those troubles, but the bible says in Proverbs 16:4 The Lord has made everything for its own purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble. Lord comprehends every teensy-weensy of your thoughts, your sorrows, your mourning, He also know that you are starting to lose faith in Him along the way. But God has better plans than what we have, He has purpose in everything and in everyone. In Isaiah 55:8, “for my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways”, declares the Lord. He was the one who created everything out from a void, His thoughts are higher than us, an all knowing God. He let us experienced these things for a reason that is also in favor for us, He let Philippines to endure these troubles for a reason that after surpassing all of these, we could get a lesson from it. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, ‘Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths’. We do not know what lies beyond but by trusting and acknowledging Him, sure enough the paths we take will be straightened by Him.
