Before And After
February 6, 2014
Read: Psalm 55:1-8,16-17
What changes take place in a life of faith after severe testing? I thought of this as I read the tragic story of a Jamaican dad who accidentally shot and killed his 18-year-old daughter while trying to protect his family from intruders.
News reports said he went to church (as was his habit) the next daydistraught but still seeking Gods help. Faith in God guided him before, and he knew God could sustain him after.
I thought about this in regard to my own lifehaving also lost a teenage daughter. To review how I viewed life and faith before Melissas death, I dug into my computer archives to read the last article I had written before we lost her in June 2002. How would what I said then correspond to what I know now? Had severe testing changed my view of faith in God? In May of that year, I had written this: David was not afraid to go boldly to God and tell Him what was on his heart. . . . We dont have to be afraid to tell God what is on our heart.
Before I went through tough times, I went to God and He listened to me. After, I discovered that He still listens and comforts and sustains. So I continue to pray in faith. Our faith remains intact and is strengthened because He is the God of the before and the after.
God is still on the throne,
He never forsaketh His own;
His promise is true, He will not forget you,
God is still on the throne. Suffield
What we know of God encourages us to trust Him in all we do not know.

I did indeed sally forth! Traffic was light - the Feds were on "Liberal" leave and most of the schools were closed. Lots of ice on the roads, sidewalks and ground. The trees were beautiful. The evening commute was also a snap.
