God’s ways are not our ways nor his thoughts, our thoughts. Just because we cannot see how this current situation might end or what it may mean, doesn’t mean that God, who is sovereign over everything, does not. In our own lives we often see, much later, why something happened. And often, it is something difficult or unwanted. But God sees the end from the beginning and knows all. That is the difference in our lives. Either we trust him or we don’t. But He does not call us to stand on the sidelines and just watch. He expects us to pray and to work. Jeff is doing that, and we should all do it as well. Whether it is just talking to friends, or praying in private, God uses our prayers. Just like with Job…God told him to pray for his friends, even though God was right there, but JOB had to pray for his friends and THEN God would forgive them.
“And my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept his prayer not to deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.” 9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what the LORD had told them, and the LORD accepted Job's prayer.” Job 42: 8b-9.
Regarding Corey Comperatore, in one sense, he gave his life for his family. But it was his time, as no one goes before his time. God says, in Psalm 139, that "in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them." The world is praying for his family and God will support them and sustain them in this new life that they now have to live.
