When a miracle ends in defeat

It’s confusing.

You wonder if you heard things right.  You wonder who to blame, but there’s not really an answer.

Other people telling you to trust in God starts to not make sense because you did and then he came through… and then he didn’t?

The lesson you thought you learned goes in the trash.

The testimony you were telling others gets awkward.

You start wondering if “God is good” is a statement that can be understood.

You wonder if God did the miracle because if he did then he’s contributing to your misery and if he didn’t then it wasn’t a miracle.

You realize that it’s really hard to tell if any particular event is God fulfilling his promise or not.

You wonder if there’s any promise left that can be held onto with any specificity beyond “things will happen the way they should.”  I guess that’s a big promise in itself.  Maybe I should just be ok with that.
