When we say God is Almighty what do we mean? Recently I heard a minister say that there is randomness and accident and that God gets alongside us and weeps with us in our sorrow. Now I have no doubt that God comes along side us and comforts us in our grief but I utterly refute that He is taken unawares by randomness. God is God almighty in perfect control of what happens in this world. There is a spiritual battle going on but God is in control. He ordains everything for His glory and the good of His children. We cannot understand this but we can believe it and put our trust in God. In 1 Peter 4 verse 12 we read,"Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy." There is a purpose to everything and it is God's purpose. The world is a mess but God's will is being done and He will bring all things to a wonderful conclusion when wrongs will be righted and we will see the perfectness of His plan come to fruition.
When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
