Stuff Happens
What do the problems, troubles, and challenges that periodically exist in my life actually mean?
Sometimes, the problems are the consequences of my decisions or behaviors.
Other times, troubles in my life stem from the consequences of the decisions or actions of others.
Often, the challenges in my life have nothing to do with the consequences of my behavior or decisions.
I know from examples in the Scriptures that there are people who experienced trials and trouble, the cause of which was something totally out of their control. In other words, stuff just happened.
The examples of Joseph, David and Job illustrate that, sometimes, stuff just happens, and God is still good and still in it all.
