Sometimes when we go through stuff, and it seems obedience to God is not even an option, to talk of it helping you sail through and weathering the storm, we look up and wonder if God is not watching at that moment. We view the challenges before us and wonder why God has allowed such and such to happen.
Picture this, i heard on radio sometime ago the story of a lady, she had been on a prayer mountain, fasting and praying for seven days. The day she returned home, she was attacked by armed robbers! And to add insult to injury, she was raped after all her valuables had been collected. You would expect the average lady to ask God "WHY?", which in fairness to her is a justified question. I'd like to point out that most of the challenges we face as Christians is mostly as a result of our attempt to obey God and his Word. Some are distractions aimed to take us off the path of truth, others are to help us build up our faith and to teach us reliance on the lord. But for whatever reasons we go through this challenges, it seems like God has taken a back seat in our lives and we are left, totally on our own.
But the truth remains this, God knows all our struggles, and he's always watching, not just him but the entire body of saints are cheering for us, encouraging, praying the Father to intervene more, to strengthen us, to comfort us more. God is quite aware of all the goings on in your life and He's so monitoring the details you can almost say He's taking notes. Truth be told, when you watch an infant trying to walk, there is really little you can do for the infant except watch and encourage, because he can only learn by falling and getting back up, and continuing to walk. That way he gets more confident with every step he takes.
God knows your obedience to Him is costly to you and that by yourself, you cannot do it. So relax and just obey, even though it's not easy, God Knows.
