STUDY IN THE BOOK OF JAMES WEEK 02 - THE PERFECTING PROCESS: JAMES 1:2-18
I'm sure you've heard of Murphy’s Law: “If anything can go wrong it will.” I just discovered this week that there are a few other laws of Murphy as well…
- “The chance of the toast falling jelly side down is directly proportional to the cost of the carpet.”
- “When you drop your phone while driving, it will find the gap between your seat and the center console."
- “The light at the end of the tunnel is too often the headlight of an oncoming train.”
Why are these funny? Why are these true? It's interesting that, whoever he was, Murphy sure had a bead on the insight that problems in this life are pretty much inescapable.
But why is that? Why are there troubles in this world? Why doesn't the world operate in a - what WE would consider - fair way? Where is God when it hurts? If God is real, why is there so much pain and trouble in this world??
