One thing that has puzzled me,and now enough to post a blog asking about it.is, we've all "been through" things we would love to get out of, have thought we were over our heads,prayed about it, yet the problem remained and even got got worse!!Even Paul said,"It was granted me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan,and 3 times I entreated the Lord to take it away, BUT HE SAID, my grace is sufficient."How many legit Christians have been in prayer groups and been prayed over by many, but the problem remains?Now here's the rub--introducing Cain, a man who was a murderer.Furthermore, he murdered his own brother. He was jealous, which was a work of the flesh.He murdered a righteous man.Serious sins, right? Now when God sent Cain away from His presence,Cain said ONE TIME{not three like Paul, or continued prayer like some of us}"My punishment is more than I can stand. For anyone who finds me will surely kill me." And after that ONE REQUEST, God granted that Cain wouldn't get what he dreaded..{"Anyone who kills Cain will be avenged sevenfold"}ONE TIME Cain the murderer whines about something, and God lets him avoid what he fears!!Yet us, who follow Him,have sometimes been denied things for seemingly forever!!Many times I've said similar to Cain, what I'm dealing with is more than I can bear, but God didn't lift it. Yet this murderer, He gives in to!! I wonder about this.{And as for wandering by himself in no mans land, with all the annoying people I deal with, for me,being isolated would be a reward rather than a punishment!!}I have to walk around being jealous of a murderer, because he got his request granted and I didn't.It makes me wonder.
