Challenges

Once I mentioned a friend with the attitude that if you have the right priorities, the money will be there. His financial situation is gfetting worse. It reminds me of Deuteronomy 28, where God lists blessings for obedience, and curses for disobedience. Blindness is listed among the curses. Then in John 9, when Jesus' disciples asked him who sinned, the blind man, or his parents. His reply was that the man's blindness was not a result of sin. Things aren't neat and tidy. Good people suffer. Life is not fair. I suspect the Lord is trying to teach my friend some deeper lessons in trust.
