When you don't know why...press on anyway towards the upward call of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Right now, medically, I have no explanation for what I am going through. Swelling of my right leg, a little to my left. A nasty cold or whatever this is on top of that.
Yet in this, God's timing is always perfect.
There may indeed be some spiritual battle that I am not aware of or it just may be for me to go through for no other reason than because God says so.
We will go through things with no understanding as to why. Look at the prophets in the Old Testament.
Many went through things that defy explanations other than it was the will of God for them.
You too may be going through a rough patch or two. The important thing is to still bring everything to God in prayer.
When looking at our individual faith history we will see these rough periods and will remember how the Lord saw us through them.
At no point are we going through anything alone. Always remember that.
There's times when we go through things at what appears to be bad timing yet there's no such thing in the Lord.
Pray on, Pray Over, Pray Through.
