After I finished my last post I headed over to Elisabeth Eliot's devotional for today, and found it was all about questioning God, LOL!  You can click on the link on the right of this screen under "Today's Devotional", and I think you may have to click back or something if it isn't "today" (Sept. 25, 2006) anymore, but it's a great article to read!  Here's an excerpt. . .

Almost always the question comes, in one form or another, Why does God do this to me?

When I am tempted to ask that same question, it loses its power when I remember that this Lord, into whose strong hands I long ago committed my life, is engineering a universe of unimaginable proportions and complexity. How could I possibly understand all that He must take into consideration as He deals with it and with me, a single individual! He has given us countless assurances that we cannot get lost in the shuffle. He choreographs the "molecular dance" which goes on every second of every minute of every day in every cell in the universe. For the record, one cell has about 200 trillion molecules. He makes note of the smallest seed and the tiniest sparrow. He is not too busy to keep records even of my falling hair.

She goes on to discuss some of the reasons God does allow adversity in our lives, and I found them to ring quite true.  I love Elisabeth Eliot!  She'll always be a big favorite around here.
