Why me? ,you can say this with two different meanings in mind,the first
meaning is when difficulties befall us,we cry out why me.The other time is when we consider the way God has blessed us,and we say why me.
Why did Job experience ,such terrible suffering? he was a good godly person,yes good godly people suffer.I am continually reading of good godly people suffering,why them, and not me,one often feels ,Christians who are not suffering persecution ,feel guilty,that they are escaping such suffering.
Should they?, no I don't believe so. We do not need to take on guilt,but we do need to help those who are suffering ,by what ever means necessary. In
Hebrew.13 v3, we read, /Regard prisoners as if you were in prison with them.Look on victims of abuse as if what happened to them had happened to you/[ TM]
Why me?,now what may be happening to you ,may be infair,again as we read the Bible we read of many people who suffered unfairness.Take Joseph
he may have acted a bit unwisely with what he said,but surely he did not
deserve the hatred his brothers showed him,they wanted him dead,but instead they sold him into slavery,later he is falsely accused of a sexual
crime he did not do,and was put into prison.
The fact of the matter there are many things in life that are unfair,what can we do?well if we are a Christian,we may cry out to God why me?.We may not get an answer,but God promises us something that does not apply to non-Christians,that all things are working together for our good[Romans 8 v28]
A prayer.
Dear God help us to remember the many of your dear children who are suffering,and help us in our suffering ,to trust in You ,knowing that all we are going through will ultimately work out for our good,in Jesus name Amen
