When the Answer You Desperately Need Is "No"
What do you do when the God you've trusted with everything denies you the one thing you need most? Not with silence, but with a clear, unmistakable "no"? This question haunts the quiet moments of faith-when the pregnancy test stays negative month after month, when the diagnosis comes back terminal, when the relationship you prayed over crumbles anyway. We're told God is good, that He loves us, that He hears our prayers. So why does it sometimes feel like He's working against us? Life's rejections arrive in devastating packages. The job offer withdrawn at the last minute. The miscarriage that shatters years of hope. The medical report that changes everything. When these moments freeze us in place, we face a crucial question: who exactly is directing our lives down these unwanted paths? If someone has that much control over our story, we'd better understand their character. Think of Moses standing on Mount Nebo after forty years of desert wandering. He'd confronted Pharaoh, parted seas, received commandments on smoking mountains. His entire existence pointed toward one destination: the Promised Land. Yet there he stood, permitted only to see what he'd never enter. God had said no to the dream that defined Moses' life. But here's what's remarkable-Moses didn't rage or collapse into bitterness. Why? Because the "no" came from someone he knew intimately, someone whose character he trusted completely.
