John 9:3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him.

Don’t blame everything bad on sin. The root of the problem may well be the sin that man brought into the world, but that does not mean that we get punished for our sins or our parents’ sins.

God is going to be glorified when people lift His name up and when people see what He does in their lives.

Our bodies are very complex and our minds are even more complex; that means they will go wrong at times and we have to accept the consequences.

But we can and should ask God to help us when things do go wrong. Accept and ask!

John 12:28 “Father, glorify Your name.” Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”

Jesus upheld God’s authority and deity by giving Him the glory at all times; and to stamp that authority God replied from Heaven that He would make sure His name would be glorified just as it had already been glorified.

God was going to glorify His name through many miracles and events that could not be attributed to anyone other than God Himself.

This ultimate authority of God was not only shown in what Jesus did and upheld but also by all who received the Holy Spirit.

God is faithful to respond to righteous people who will give Him the glory!

Matthew 26:39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”

Do we have a right to complain to God? Yes we do! Jesus was showing us here that we have the right to say to God that we don’t like things.

It does not mean that we should go off and do our own thing just because we don’t like what God gives us though.

Jesus made it clear that he would follow God the Father no matter how much He Himself did not relish the prospect of so much pain and suffering.

Accept what God gives you. Question it and test it. But accept it!
