Biblical Answer

Why Did God Allow Me to Experience a Life-Changing Injury?

As I reflect on the circumstances surrounding my broken leg and the loss of my career, I am reminded of the sovereignty of God over all creation. The Bible teaches us that God is the all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-loving Creator who governs every aspect of life. This means that God is not limited by human circumstances, but rather, He is actively working all things together for our good (Romans 8:28). While we may not fully understand the reasons behind a particular event, we can trust that God's purposes are always good and that He is working to bring about our spiritual growth and development.

The question of why God allowed me to experience a life-changing injury is a complex one. On one hand, it's easy to focus on the negative aspects of the situation and wonder why God didn't intervene to prevent the injury. However, as we look at the bigger picture, we can see that God was working to bring about a greater good. The Bible teaches us that God is a God of redemption and restoration, and that He uses difficult circumstances to refine and mature us in our faith. In my case, the injury forced me to re-evaluate my priorities and focus on what truly mattered in life. It also gave me the opportunity to develop a deeper dependence on God and to trust in His sovereignty over my life.

In the midst of difficult circumstances, it's easy to feel like God has abandoned us or that He's not working in our lives. However, the Bible reminds us that God is always present and active, even when we can't see it. He is working to bring about our good, even when it doesn't feel like it. As we navigate the challenges of life, we can trust that God is working all things together for our good and that He will use even the most difficult circumstances to bring about our spiritual growth and development. Ultimately, the question of why God allowed me to experience a life-changing injury is not as important as trusting in His sovereignty and goodness, even when we don't understand.
