Your Question:
Why did God let my
Answer:
As I reflect on your question, "Why did God let my foot out to break my fall?" I'm reminded of the sovereignty and nature of God. It's not about God not intervening, but rather about understanding the nature we were exhibiting at the time. God wants us to recognize our own nature and the choices we make. If our actions are undefiled, natural laws must work in regular ways. In the context of your broken foot, I'd ask you to consider why you weren't more careful. Was it a moment of distraction or a habitual behavior? Perhaps it's an opportunity for you to reflect on your actions and make a conscious decision to change your nature. God's purpose is to get us into a right relationship with Himself and then with others. When we're willing to change our nature, God's re-creating forces begin to work. It's essential to understand that God's reasons for not intervening are not always about us, but about the greater good. He may be sovereignly working in ways we can't see or understand. As the Psalmist wrote, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Psalm 22:1). Jesus, in his human nature, knew he would have to suffer and die, but he didn't know how long it would last. Similarly, God may be sovereignly working in your life, even when it seems like He's not intervening.
