never put a question mark where God puts a period

Have you ever question God? If you were like me, who like to ask why and is curious about things I don't know or understand, you probably have ask God on many occasions why are things the way they are. Or you keep a list of Whys on your way to heaven and ready to slam it at Jesus face the second you get there. Often time, those whys do cultivate our relationship with God given a right attitude for the response in return.

Another type of 'questioning' is when things are set and done in the way you don't understand / like, you start thinking about the maybes, options, and possibilities in denial of a closed chapter in your life. You start telling God how he's almighty, powerful, and in control and he could change things around; and just maybe he changes it around to your interest. And, that almost sounds like a person with strong faith. Better yet, you tell God you know he works in mysterious ways so, this may not be the end of the story.
The truth is God has put a period where you don't like it to be. So, you question it.

What to do then???
A Texan preacher on TV the other day talked about his own experience in loses & disappointment. Then he brought up a major point that we often forget - God has our Best interests in mind! Hooray! That clicked. For us to stop placing question marks where God already placed a period is to know that something better is yet to come.
