Ignoring God when life is easy

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

It is so easy not to bother
when life is pleasant, easy,
not give a thought at all to wonder
‘Is there a God who sees me?’

But when a tragedy comes sweeping
with  death and suffering, crying,
why do so many turn to blaming
the God they’d been denying?

If he’s omnipotent and sovereign,
all this he is allowing,
but love divine that’s  strong, supporting
those trusting him are knowing.

So in such difficulties, maybe
some rouse to seek him, waking
to turn from negligence and folly
their mutiny forsaking.                           Tune: 97 97

It is so Rhiannon, when times are good we tend to forget about God, but he does want us to be happy. After all He is our Father.

We are having some fine, warm weather for a few days too – the end of summer, sometimes called an Indian summer for some reason, often with sharp cold morning and evening, and very hot aftrnoon. Children have returned to school and go with their jumpers on and come home with them stuffed into their bags.

Certainly our God wants us to be happy, but he also wants us to have his joy and eternal life doesn't he, and sometimes things going well do draw us to forget him. But more importantly those who don't know him as a Father are sometimes cross that he doesn't stop all hardship and disaster, and yet, if these wake some up to seek him and his grace, then the hardship has been worth it to access eternal life and joy!
