We don't always know why. God doesn't always want to tell us why. Many times we don't need to know why. We can ask God, but don't demand from God to give us an answer. The Shunammite woman asked for a son and the prayer was answered. Her son died unexpectedly in her arms. She didn't get mad, she went to Elisha and told him what happened. Her son was saved.

She didn't yell at God, She didn't yell at Elisha. She was obedient.

Job is a great example of why sometimes we do not know what is going on...God wants us to depend on Him.

Today while looking around, listening for God's voice...He pointed me to Isaiah 57:1-2 NIV The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil.

2 Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death.. Sometimes the answer to why = God protects us.
