When You Want to Throw a Red Flag Out on God

(Romans 8:32, Psalms 12) 

When a head coach on an NFL team perceives that the referee has made a wrong call, awarding a key play to the opposition, he throws out a red flag. This red flag signals that the referee needs to review the play again. Obviously the coach believes that the referee has made a mistake.

There are times in our lives, especially when we are caught between a rock and a hard place, when we want to throw a red flag out on God. We want to stop the game and throw down the red flag because it looks like God has made a wrong call. It looks like He has missed something. It looks like He didn’t know what He was doing because if He did, He wouldn’t have called things that way.

We think thoughts like – If God had known how this was going to affect me, He wouldn’t have allowed that thing to happen. If He had really known the pain that I was going to have to go through in dealing with this, then He would have made a different decision.

We want to reach into our pocket and pull out our red flag and yell, “God, you missed this one! You blew it. Review it, because you’re obviously wrong.” It is during those times that we need to remember that God often does some of His best work in the dark. He is also often the nearest when He seems the furthest away. It is during those times that our faith needs to carry us through. Because it is in those times that God is often waiting to see what we are going to do.
