Place the blame where it belongs.

Jesus said to Thomas, John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." I believe this with all my heart. 
We have troubles and trials on this earth and that isn't unusual, but we have a promise of a far better and more wonderful life in Heaven with our Lord. 
John 16:33 
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
People ask how can God let all these terrible things happen to people. And I understand, that those things happen because of the prince of this world. The God of this world, Satan was given power. Even to see our Lord Jesus persecuted beaten scorned and hung on a cross. He went through all of this for us. If he suffered and died like this on this earth, why do we think it is strange that we suffer on this earth. But he showed us a better way. He showed us that there will be a great reward is we believe because on the third day after he suffered and died on that cross and was buried in the tomb, he rose from the dead. He was seen by many witnesses at that time. He was seen not only by the Apostles, (his desciples) but many, up to five hundred witnesses saw him alive after he was risen. 
I believe this. I believe that my bible is the ispired word of God. Not just a story or a writing by some people over time, but words, prophecy, promises from God's own hand. Jesus Christ is the fullfilment of the promises and prophecy of the old testament and is the new testament and promise for our future. Eternity is forever, so for this short period of suffering I will hold to these promises and to his word. I draw strength and health from his living word. It is a cleansing when we read and think and meditate on his word. He is the Glory and the lifter of my head. 
Thank you Lord for these moments in the night that I can put these thoughts down. Bless the name of Jesus.
