God works in the midst of disaster

The Flagellation of Our Lord Jesus Christ (1880)
     Human life is always faced with two options, namely the success and downfall. Not a single man under heaven who wants the suffering in this life, but want the joy and happiness. There is a story about a father who had suffered pain. The story is this: "In a small village there lived a humble family where a father in this family who is suffering ill family expectations, based on medical diagnosis he experienced pain" Heart ". In this village has no health facilities let alone a pharmacy or drug store, so that this child was ordered by the doctor who examined her father to go buy drugs in town. Then, without thinking of this child do what the doctor ordered for him. This child must pass through the plantations and several small forest to reach the city. When he arrived in town he bought medicine for her father. But the drug she'd taken mixed with other drugs where the drug would be toxic if consumed by her father. 
     Around three o'clock this child ran to return to the village, but in a forest when a child is running he fell and existing drugs in the bottle to treat his father fell and broke. This child is experiencing fear, disappointment and guilt over what he had just experienced. In the midst of these children fear to pray and ask the Father in heaven to cure his father. Around eight o'clock this child to his home, his face grim and fearful. The doctor asked the boy: "Where's the medicine that I ordered it?". This boy replied: "Sorry doctor drug fell and broke when I ran for home." The doctorreplied: "Let your father has been cured." Hearing the words of the doctor that her father has been recovering this child to be grateful and express thanks to God for His love that has been heard and answered her prayers when she fell in the middle of the jungle to bring drugs to his father. Humans are often confronted with the reality or the reality of life. 
     Does the fact it contains the success or failure, good or bad and even collapse. Fall may be in distress, disease or failure. Humans often think that God is only present in the midst of success. But God is also present in the fall of man. Why God is present in the middle of the Fall? God is present in the middle of the fall of man is to provide for the good of mankind, so God can bring good in the middle of the fall and human failure. Many people assume that the various realities and the reality of life in nature by humans is a destiny, in other words that it is wrong for us to assume that the fall had been destined by God. God works with us, when we work in him, but God will not work with us when we ourselves do not want to work in him. God did not ordained to us the downfall or disaster mankind. Fall is a consequence, the risk and the dynamics of everything we do. For Paul, that God can use the fall as one way for the good of our humanity. 
     It's wrong even if we assume that God only blesses those who experience success, prosperity and health. God also worked in the middle of the fall of man for the good of man himself. We as humans often only focus on the fall, without noticing that God is present in the middle of the fall of man. This situation is so that people mourned and wept over the fall which he naturally without thinking that God was good in the middle of designing the fall that happened to him. It is not easy for us to laugh in the middle of fall we are experiencing. Very long it takes to receive the collapse or failure. For me this is the mystery of human life, there is an understandable by humans but also there that can’t be understood by the human mind (Deuteronomy 29:29 says: "Things are hidden to the Lord, our God, but ..."). 
     Human life is a reality not a dream. Life is an adventure that can produce success or fall (failure). But we believe people should not fear and trembling that God is still present in the central reality of our lives. We always believe that God is always working with us. Hopefully this article useful to us and the Lord Jesus Christ bless.
