Are You Running from “Why”?
March 2, 2010
by John ImlerJohn is an RVchurchesUSA Ambassor and author of It’s Never Too Late (Read John’s first article in this series answering the question “Why”) Don’t let the whys in your life cause you to run from God. We have all struggled to find answers to why we were going through certain circumstances. Sometimes we run because we don’t see any good reason for them and we feel that we are being treated unfairly by life. Sometimes we run because we don’t like the answers we are getting.
On the streets are countless individuals who for one or more reasons are on the run from God. Some are just aimlessly wandering about as ships tossed by the violent winds of each new set of circumstances. They wander without employment, food, shelter, family, or friends. But worst of all they wander without hope or God.
On those same streets are other individuals who are running from their circumstances and filling their lives with endless activities of every kind. They do not see God in those circumstances nor are they even asking God
WHY. They see their circumstances as meaningless coincidences without any reason or purpose.
While God speaks to us through Bible study and prayer, I firmly believe that He also guides and teaches us through the circumstances that He allows or sometimes causes which we experience daily. But we must first ask of Him the reason and then listen for His voice.
We must learn to run to God and not from God in our search for the answers to the whys of our lives.
My book Its Never Too Late is a story that clearly illustrates the total futility of one who ran from God. As a stiff necked and wayward former pastor, it took me too long to realize the truth that one cannot hide from God (Psalms 139:7-12).
