July 25, 2010 – Sirach 39

A couple of questions that we always seem to bring up in our minds are seen as foolish to ask here.  What is the purpose of this?  The answer is that everything is chosen to fulfill a need.  Nothing happens out of the sight of God and nothing is done that He will not use for His greater good.   This is not as good as that.  Not as much a question but asking ourselves why this is not as good as another thing.  The answer, God will show everything’s worth at its proper time.  I see it as, we can ponder the big question WHY about things, but only in order to gain a deeper understanding of God and His mysteries.  To swell on it or become obsessed with the WHY this or that happens will not gain you anything.  God’s ways are not our ways.  We must trust in Him and do our best to join in His work and not question it.
