God is Enough

One of the hardest parts of trusting God has been reconciling the fact that God had the power to stop Bob from committing suicide, but He chose not to do so. Hebrews 5:7-8 has helped me as I wrestle with this. In these verses I see the fully human, fully God facing the cross and crying out to the Father, who has the power to make another way, but chooses not to do so. I see Jesus submit to God’s plan, a plan that included suffering and death. Jesus wrestled with God’s plan to redeem the world through His death on the cross. It helps because I, too, have struggled with God’s plan for my life.
