Get lost in Jesus!!!

This blog entry is a product of a heavy heart. At the end of Proverbs 22 Solomon start to write what they title Thirty Sayings of the Wise. Now I'm not saying that I'm wise or have the authority to give a wise saying, but here's a saying that I've been telling people and a saying that I've been living my life by; GET LOST IN JESUS! Durning these past four months or so I've been dealing with areas of my life that God has been refining and I'm so thankful for that. During this time I've just been getting lost in Jesus. Now that things aren't as bad as they were, the idea of getting lost in Jesus is still in my mind but it's something that I haven't been doing as much as I was before. How easy we forget the things, or in this case the person who has brought us out of our struggles and is always there to take care of us. I was reminded of this because yestarday and today was a day that I just started to question why God would allow things to happen. First of all my friend Trevor's dad passed away yestarday, my friend in class his dad is in critical condition, and this morning I got a message from my best friend/brother that our dad(he's like a second father to me) is in the hospital with atrial fib(a heart condition). As all this started to sink in I started to think about how my family is in perfect health but we are so torn apart. I started to wonder why God is doing this or allowing these things to happen. The more I think about this, the more upset and confused I get. 
When I start to do this I think about the way Job got the smack down by God, the where were you scolding. Instead of questioning God's motives and trying to figure out the answers that God only knows, I needed to just get lost in Jesus. We don't get lost in Jesus to forget about all the bad things that are happening around us, we get lost in Jesus because by doing so we get reminded of how great he is and how he has everything in control.  
I want to end with this, getting lost in Jesus isn't something that we automatically have this is something that we need to do. Getting lost in Jesus doesn't mean that all your problems will just go away. But by getting lost in Jesus we have a new sense of comfort and peace because the one with power over all is the one that is going to be the one that is going to handle everything for you. Like I always say and have been reading about in Proverbs, we need to keep our end of the deal up(walking in righteousness).
So my prayer for us today is that we get lost in Jesus! I pray that instead of getting lost and worrying about all the stuff around us that we would focus on our heavenly father and we would let him work everything out for his glory. I pray for strength and faith for us to continue to let God be God.
