God knows best.
'Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own' PROVERBS 3:5
'I told you so! I knew it! I'm right!' We all enjoy saying words like that don't we? We all want to be right and hate being wrong. But we need to get used to being wrong if we want to live the Christian life. 1 Corinthians 1:25 says: 'For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom...' That means that even the cleverest thing we could ever say sounds so not clever to God.
A guy in the Bible called Job, had to go through some really rotten stuff in his life and one day he was moaning on to God about it and asked God if He really knew what He was doing? Job thought he was being clever! But God put him in his place saying things like, 'Right Job, did you put the stars in place? No, you didn't! So until you can do stuff like that, don't even think about questioning me, because I obviously know well more than you. Just trust me!' (for the full version of this chat, read the last few chapters of the book of Job). It shut Job up good and proper.
How can you possibly answer that? Well that's just the thing...you can't...no-one can. We were never meant to figure everything out by ourselves, we were meant to ask God and learn from Him. So go on ask...and keep asking. He'll tell you everything you need to know.
