Why did God let it happen?
by
Eighteen months after I began my new quiet time habit, in the early spring of 2002, the controller at our dealership resigned to seek more income. Because this is such a key position, I was crushed! He was a Christian, good at his job, and we had a great relationship. I really questioned God as to why He would let this happen to me!
Why I decided to walk away from the family business…

As the oldest of three sons, I was always the one expected to take over the family business. It was all I knew. It was all I had ever pictured as my future…and I was walking away. After six intense months of reading and studying my Bible and praying, I was certain I had to make a significant change in the direction of my life.

In my last post, I explained how, after 20 years as a Christian, I was convicted of not treating the Bible as God intended – as an instruction book for this life. This conviction had come through reading a book on a trip to Hawaii and left me eager to start studying my Bible.

I had a serious problem. I had a blind spot and did not know it. I was raised in a Christian home. I accepted Jesus and was baptized when I was 10 years old. I grew up in a small-town Baptist church and was given a great faith foundation and working knowledge of the Bible. I was a good kid and never got into much trouble.
